Microsoft and IBM Networks

The HP CD-ROM Server does not require any configuration
when using Microsoft and IBM networks that use SMB over
NetBEUI (such as Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95,
Windows NT or OS/2). For instructions on making a network
connection to your CD-ROM server, proceed to chapter 4.
Microsoft and IBM networks that use SMB over TCP/IP require
TCP/IP configuration as described in "TCP/IP Networks" below.

TCP/IP Networks

To use the HP CD-ROM Server in the TCP/IP environment, you
must select an available Internet Protocol (IP) address. On some
systems, you may need a unique host name to associate with the
IP address. The IP address can be easily set from UNIX or
Windows NT systems.
To configure IP addressing on Windows 95 (and other
systems that support TCP/IP networks), and to configure
other TCP/IP parameters—such as a subnet mask, default
gateway address—you will need to edit and save the
CD-ROM servers config.ini file as described in chapter 5.
• Obtain root privileges on your UNIX system or
administrator privileges on the Windows NT server.
• Confirm with your Network Administrator that you may
proceed with network configuration.
• Obtain an unused IP address, and a host name (if
necessary), from your Network Administrator.
Do not use the factory default IP address (192.36.253.80)
when installing your HP CD-ROM Server. Always consult
your Network Administrator before assigning an IP address.
• Obtain the LAN hardware (MAC) address found on the label
on the bottom of the CD-ROM server (or attached to the
tower enclosure).
• Verify that the CD-ROM server is powered up and connected
to the network.
