Client Access to CDs

For TCP/IP networks, two methods for client workstations to
access the server and its CDs are possible.
•
A web browser can be used for access immediately after an
IP address is assigned (see the beginning of this chapter).
•
Clients can map drives to the server, a CD-ROM drive, or a
particular CD.
The HP CD-ROM server supports HTTP over TCP/IP. This
means that the server works as a World-Wide Web server.
To access the CD-ROM server's web page, you must first config-
ure the server with an IP address as described in the section
that begins this chapter.
After you set up web access to the server according to the proce-

setting the server's configuration parameter HTTPEnable to off
or on (default setting on). See "Methods for Configuration" on
page 3-13.
