AXIS StorPoint CD Token Ring - User’s Manual 25
Section 3 Microsoft & IBM Networks (SMB)
This section outlines the required configuration settings for running your
StorPoint CD in the Microsoft and IBM (SMB) network environment, i.e.
Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups or OS/2. It also
describes how to set up access restrictions.
If you are using StorPoint CD in a multiprotocol environment, proceed to the
other relevant sections of the manual, namely:
“Section 4 - NetWare (NCP) ”
“Section 5 - UNIX (NFS) ”
“Section 6 - Web Browser (HTTP) ”
Network Settings
You do not have to specify any specific settings before you can use StorPoint CD
in the Windows (SMB) environment. However, we recommend that you change
some of the default settings, e.g. the SMB server name. You can use the
Administration Web pages to configure StorPoint CD.
SMB Server Name The default SMB server name is AXIS<nnnnnn>, where <nnnnnn> are the last
six digits of the StorPoint CD serial number. This is the name that will be
presented to the Windows clients on the network. You can change that name by
editing the SMB Server Name parameter.
Recommendation!
Choose a more descriptive name for your server, e.g. CD Server.
SMB Protocols SMB is a protocol that make use of NetBIOS. NetBIOS can be used over several
different network protocols. StorPoint CD supports the following transport
methods:
• SMB over NetBIOS/TCP/IP (NBT) - max 1000 users
• SMB over NetBIOS/NetBEUI - max 300 users
Both protocols are enabled by default. However, you can disable the protocols
by setting the appropriate configuration parameters.
