2. Click on the checkbox next to Automatically lock this CD-

ROM volume every time it is mounted.

3. Click OK. AutoLock is enabled for this volume. It will be

locked automatically every time it is mounted and will

remain locked until it is dismounted.

A drive will be locked automatically if AutoLock is enabled on

either the Host or the volume. For example, if AutoLock is

enabled on a DiscPort Host, attached CD-ROM drives will be

locked when mounted, even if the volume has AutoLock

disabled. Similarly, if AutoLock is enabled on the volume, the

volume will be locked on mount, even if AutoLock is disabled

for the DiscPort Host. Therefore, a volume will NOT be

locked on mount only if BOTH the DiscPort Host and the

volume have AutoLock disabled.

If you can’t get the eject button on the drive to work,

check the lock status on both the volume and the host.

Manual Drive Locking/Unlocking (NetWare Only)

The manual drive locking/unlocking option is useful when an

administrator or workgroup manager wants to secure a CD in

the drive, even when the CD is not mounted as a volume. It

also provides a way to temporarily override the auto-locking

option, since it is performed immediately. Manual lock is

dependent on the drive. When this type of locking is used, the

lock must later be disabled explicitly through DiscView PRO

when you want to unlock the drive.

When a drive is manually locked, it will not be unlocked

automatically on dismount (assuming that auto-locking is

NOT enabled). This permits the network administrator or

manager to keep the drive locked over successive mount/

dismount cycles.

If AutoLock is enabled and a drive is manually locked, the

drive will be automatically unlocked on dismount. If an

administrator or workgroup manager wishes to manage drive

locking manually, the auto-locking option should be disabled

to prevent unexpected drive unlocks.

■ To manually lock a drive:

1. From the DiscView PRO Map window, select a drive.

2. Right-click on the drive and select Lock Drive from the

pop-up menu. The drive is now locked. Any CD-ROM in

the drive cannot be removed until the drive is unlocked.
