Owner`s manual

Clients can receive the date and time from the server. This service

assures users of consistent timestamps on any given file created, shared,

or updated by other users.

InfoServer Network Storage Services

Through the integration of Microsoft's CD-ROM extensions to the MS-DOS(R)

operating system (MSCDEX), DOS clients can access the CD-ROM drives

of Digital's InfoServer 100 or 150 containing applications written us-

ing the PC industry-standard formats, ISO 9660 and High Sierra.

The InfoServer 100 and 150 are Ethernet-based, high-performance vir-

tual disk servers capable of making CD-ROMs available to clients on

the network. Refer to the InfoServer Software Product Description (SPD

33.20.xx) for further information on the InfoServer.

Access to the InfoServer 100 and 150's CD-ROM drives is transparent

to the DOS clients. Clients see the information they require on fully

shareable drives as if they were locally attached devices.

PATHWORKS for DOS clients can access up to eight Local Area Disk (LAD)

drives, of which seven can be configured as CD-ROMs at any one time.

Note: DOS clients cannot access the InfoServer 100s and 150s in a To-

ken Ring configuration as they are Ethernet-only devices.

Broadcast and Receive

The Broadcast feature allows users to send (broadcast) messages to DOS

and/or OS/2 clients. The Receive feature allows DOS clients to receive

the messages. This feature allows DOS clients to notify other DOS clients

of various network events.

Broadcast and Receive functionality is only supported between PCs uti-

lizing the same network transport. For example, users can send a mes-

sage from a PC using DECnet to another PC using DECnet as the network

transport; users cannot send a message from a PC using DECnet to a PC

using TCP/IP as the network transport.
