2.2.3 Windows Networking Workgroups
Because every networked Windows NT-based computer (including Windows 95
computers) is a member of a workgroup, clients must be assigned to a workgroup.
Member computers of a particular workgroup are visible in Network
Neighborhood. SSC clients, including the ECS/OCA, will be members of the SSC
workgroup. Any MEC client will be assigned to workgroup CHeCS.
2.2.4 Drive Sharing
Where deemed appropriate the contents of a laptop’s local hard drive or a CD in the
laptop’s CD drive may be shared out to all other networked users. The OCA
operator needs this access to permit file transfers between the MCC and individual
client machines.
2.2.4.1 File Server Hard Drive Sharing
The File Server’s FAT16 partition (C Drive) is shared across the network to every
user to read, and to crewmembers to modify. Only the OCA login ID receives a
mapping to the File Server’s C Drive.
The D: Drive on the OPS LAN File Server (FServer) is shared across the network.
D: Drive partition is formatted in NTFS, which grants access to individual
directories and files. Letter K is mapped to the root of FServer’s D: Drive and
appears in Windows Explorer as:
“K on FSERVER”
2.2.4.2 File Server CD Drive Sharing
The CD Drive on the File Server is shared across the network to all users. The
ECS/OCA machine (OCA1) maps to and utilizes the File Server’s CD drive, since
OCA1 does not have its own local CD drive.
2.2.4.3 Client Hard Drive Sharing
The entire local hard drive of an SSC Client laptop, rather than individual folders
and directories on the drive, should be shared across the network. The default
windows format (C, usually) will be used. The hard drive shares of network
client machines will appear in Windows Explorer as:
“C on SSCn”
2.2.4.4 Client CD Drive Sharing
The CD Drive on SSC clients is not shared out to the network.
