C Accessing a Remote CD-ROM
Drive with the IQ-203
To access an external CD-ROM drive with your IQ-203 Control Unit, you
may use either a PC accessed through a network or one connected directly
to your IQ-203. Using the network is easier if you have access to it from
your IQ-203, but both methods are explained in this section.
Note: You may also use a portable CD-ROM drive connected to your IQ-203.
In this case, refer to the drive documentation for help or instructions.
Sharing the CD-ROM Drive from the PC
The first thing you must do to access files and applications on the CD-ROM
from your IQ-203 is to share the CD-ROM drive on the PC, no matter which
method you use to connect the PC to your IQ-203.
To share the CD-ROM drive,
1. In Windows Explorer, select the CD-ROM drive letter (usually D:, but it
may differ on your PC).
2. Right-click on the drive icon ( ) and select Sharing... to open the
drive properties dialog box.
3. Select the Share as option and give full access to all users. The
CD-ROM drive icon ( ) should now contain a hand.
Note: For more information about file sharing, refer to the Microsoft Windows
documentation.
