AXIS StorPoint CD E100 User's Manual
A zone is a logical grouping of AppleTalk networks on a LAN or WAN. There
can be multiple networks within a zone and, in some cases, multiple zones
assigned to a network segment. An AppleTalk router is responsible for assigning
zone information to the AppleTalk networks to which it is attached. You specify
the zone by editing the Zone Name parameter.
Access control is used for restricting access to the shared volumes and discs on
the StorPoint CD. In the Macintosh (AFP) environment you can select whether
you want to use an authentication server or passwords for access control. You
choose which method to use by enabling/disabling the Use Authentication
Server parameter.
When using an authentication server, all user names and passwords will be
verified against the authentication server. The user will then be granted access to
specific resources depending on the permissions set for the user names used at
logon.
Any Macintosh computer can be defined as the Authentication Server


provided it has file sharing enabled. This means the user names defined on
the authentication server can be used also for the StorPoint CD.
To use this method for access control, you must enable the Use Authentication
Server parameter. How to specify the permissions is described in "Authentication
Server " on page 81.
When using passwords, the user will be prompted for the password when trying
to access the volume. The user will then be granted access to the volume and all
its subfolders. You can define different passwords for specific resources.
To use passwords for access control, the Use Authentication Server parameter
must be disabled. This is the default setting. How to specify passwords is
described in "Passwords " on page 82.
Using an authentication server for access control is the preferred method for
Macintosh-based networks.
The installation Wizard is a convenient way to set up your StorPoint CD for
your Macintosh (AFP) environment. It will guide you through the following:
