The easiest way to access your Matrox Iris E-Series is to map a network folder to
the partion(s) that are most frequently accessed. To map a network folder, perform
the following:
• Type the path to Matrox Iris E-Series in the Microsoft Windows Explorer Address
field.
\\IrisName
Note that if you have lost the name of your Matrox Iris E-Series use the Matrox
Discovery utility to find it again (refer to the Your Matrox Iris E-Series without
DHCP section, in Chapter 4: Your Matrox Iris E-Series without DHCP).
• Map a drive to a folder on your Matrox Iris E-Series.
a. In Microsoft Windows Explorer, click on the Tools Map Network Drive
command. A Map Network Drive window is displayed.
b. Select an unused drive letter from the Drive drop-down list box.
c. Type the folder name in the Folder edit field (for example,
\\IrisName\UserDisk).
Note that you cannot map a drive to the root folder (for example,
\\IrisName). Instead, you must create a mapped drive to a subfolder (for
example, \\IrisName\UserDisk).
d. Then, click on the Finish button.
• Open a command prompt and use the net use command to map a drive to a
specified folder.
net use J: \\IrisName\UserDisk
Note that you cannot create a mapped drive to the root folder (for example,
\\IrisName). Instead, create a mapped drive to a subfolder (for example,
\\IrisName\UserDisk).
