Setting the Macintosh Parameters
No specific settings are required to make use of the StorPoint CD in the Macintosh (AFP)
environment. However, you might want to change some of the default settings, e.g. the AFP server
name or authentication server settings.
Server Name Parameter
The default AFP server name is AXIS<nnnnnn_AT>, where <nnnnnn> are the last six digits of the
StorPoint CD serial number. We recommend that you choose a more descriptive name,
e.g. CD Server.
Authentication Server Parameters
In the Macintosh (AFP) environment, you 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. By default the authentication server is disabled.
• Authentication server access control allows you to define access rights based on the user name
used at logon. This is the preferred method. See “Authentication Server Access Control ” on page
32.
• Passwords access control is based on different passwords for specific resources. No verification
with an authentication server will take place. See “Passwords Access Control ” on page 33.
Installation Wizard
The installation wizard, which is available via the StorPoint CD Web interface, is a convenient way
to set up the StorPoint CD for your Macintosh (AFP) environment. Follow these steps:
1. From within the Administration Web pages, click Network Settings.
2. Click Wizard . The Network Settings Wizard dialog appears.
