•
If an administrator has set a CD-ROM alias, it will be used
instead of the volume name. Since a volume name may not
be an easily recognizable representation of the CD contents,
assigning a CD-ROM alias is a convenient way of setting a
more significant or recognizable name.
If you run an application from a CD, or look for an applica-
tion's associated files on the CD, the application may not rec-
ognize it by the CD-ROM alias. In that case, you will not be
able to use a CD-ROM alias.
•
If the system administrator has set a SCSI alias, it will be
used in place of any of the above names. The SCSI alias is
also known as the drive alias or the SCSI Alias. A SCSI alias
is useful for the following reasons:
• When a SCSI alias is set, any CD inserted into the drive
will be seen as having this name. Thus you could use the
same drive for a series of discs, such as a monthly issue,
and you will not have to enter a new name each time you
change the disc.
• When a SCSI alias is set, the volume rights for any CD
inserted in the drive are determined by the drive access
rights. This is convenient because the access rights need
setting only once, while the disc can be changed.
config Folder
The config folder contains CD-ROM server configuration files:
html and public Folders. These contain HTML files and
images used when accessing the server from web browsers.
stat.txt File. This contains CD-ROM server statistics.
config.ini File. This is used to set the CD-ROM server
parameters as shown in the table starting on page 7-13.
scsi.txt File. This is used as a single point of viewing all the
CD-ROM drives and what is inserted in each of them.
index.htm File. This is used when accessing the server from
web browsers.
