An additional way to make the CDs available to workstations on
the network (clients) is the same as used with file servers: "map-
ping" the server to a drive letter on PC systems, or "mounting"
on UNIX systems. After the server is mapped or mounted, the
client accesses the server, with its CDs (and optionally its config-
uration parameters), just like any other attached disk drive or
networked file server.
The mapping or mounting procedure depends on the network
operating environment and client system. Use the procedures in
subsequent chapters as follows:

Microsoft & IBM Networks (SMB). . . . . . . . . . . . . . chapter 4
(Clients: Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows for Work-
groups, OS/2, and DOS)

groups, and DOS)

Configuring the Server

By making configuration changes, you can customize server
operation and can set access rights for security.
Some server configuration changes you might need are listed
below. Some of these items are detailed in this section:
•
Set up or change the server name for NetWare or for
Microsoft networking clients (SMB), or change the domain
or workgroup name for SMB. (See page 4-12.)
•
Set up a password or other access right restrictions, some of
which are specific to other networking and client protocols.
(see chapters 4, 5, and 6 for other protocols).
•
Disable server protocols, such as NetWare (page 5-10), SMB
on NetBIOS/NetBEUI, SMB on NetBIOS/TCP/IP (page 4-
12), and NFS (page 6-4), to prevent blanket access for proto-
cols for which you have not configured access restrictions.
•
Disable access to the server through other protocols, or
through web browsers.
•
Set up Internet and SNMP parameters.
•
Set the server's time.
