Environments
The AXIS StorPoint CD is connected as a node in an Ethernet
network, or as a station in a Token Ring network. To the network the
StorPoint CD acts as a file server. This means that it is independent of
other file servers, i.e. the communication takes place directly between
the network client and the StorPoint CD. This results in high
performance, reliability and independence of other equipment.
The file server independent approach makes the installation quick and
convenient. In most environments the physical connection to the
network is the only installation required prior to starting work with
the StorPoint CD. No software needs to be installed on clients or file
servers. Your computer will see the StorPoint CD as another network
file server, and it is accessed using the standard commands used in
your network operating system.
The AXIS StorPoint CD
can be used simultaneously
from NetWare, Windows,
OS/2, DOS, UNIX and
Internet/intranet clients. It
supports basic messaging
and network protocols:
•
NCP over IPX and IP
•
SMB over
NetBIOS/NetBEUI
•
SMB over
NetBIOS/TCP/IP
•
NFS over UDP/IP
•
HTTP over TCP/IP.
