1-2 Introduction
The server also supports the HTTP protocol. Therefore, you can
access and manage it using a standard web browser, such as
Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
For Windows 95 or NT 4.0 (and later) systems, a software utility
is available for use in place of a web browser. This utility, the
HP CD-ROM Server Utility, provides an easy-to-use graphical
interface to manage your HP CD-ROM servers. You can down-
load this software from Hewlett-Packard's World-Wide Web site
at URL: http://www.hp.com/go/cdrom_server
At the Web site, you can also download technical support
information, and the latest versions of the CD-ROM server
firmware and software utilities. Check with your HP-autho-
rized dealer for additional assistance.
You can also remotely manage the server as a node in your net-
work using popular network managment applications.
Where to Use Them
HP SureStore CD-ROM server/towers can be used in a variety of
network environments. They support basic messaging and net-
work protocols, including:
•
Novell NCP (NetWare Control Protocol) over IPX
•
Novell NCP over NetWare/IP
•
Microsoft networking—SMB (Server Message Block)
over NetBEUI (NetBIOS Extended User Interface)
•
Microsoft networking—SMB (Server Message Block)
over NetBIOS/TCP/IP
•
NFS (Network File System) over UDP/IP
•
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) over TCP/IP (Internet
Protocol) for access from a web browser
Network clients that use these networking protocols can access
the server. Refer to appendix C for more information.
The server can emulate Novell file servers running NetWare 3.x
and 4.x and Intranetware 1.x. No NLM is required.
The server is easily shared using the SMB (Server Message
Block) protocol, the default protocol in popular PC systems (such
as Microsoft Windows 95 and NT, and IBM OS/2 systems).
The server can be mounted using NFS (Network File System) .
