Client Access to Discs

For TCP/IP networks, two methods for client workstations to access
the server and its discs are possible.
•
A web browser can be used for access once an IP address is
assigned (see the section starting on page 3-1).
•
Clients can map drives to the server, a CD/DVD-ROM drive, or
a particular disc on a drive.
The HP CD/DVD-ROM server supports HTTP over TCP/IP. This
means that the server works as a web server. To access the server's
web page, you must first configure the server with an IP address as
described in the section starting on page 3-1.
After you set up web access to the server according to the
procedure in that section, "Web (HTTP)" can be disabled and
enabled in the server's configuration; the default is enabled. See
"Disabling Access for Other Protocols" on page 3-13.
The server can be accessed using any standard web browser, such
as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. The example
here uses Internet Explorer.
1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. In the Address field, enter the URL of the server as:
http:// <IP-
As an alternative to the IP address, you can use a host name
associated with the IP address and assigned to the server.
3. The main web page for the server is displayed, as shown below.
