Section 1 Introduction
AXIS StorPoint CD E100
The AXIS StorPoint CD E100 connects CD/DVD-ROM drives, towers and
changers to 10/100 MBit Ethernet networks. All users on the network can share
the information on any disc inserted into a connected drive.
The enclosure and connectors are
designed for installation into a
standard CD-ROM tower. An
IDE version, a single and dual
SCSI port version are available. It
is not possible to mix IDE disks
and drives with a SCSI version, or
vice versa.
The StorPoint CD is server
independent, which means that
no software has to be loaded on
any server, and no additional
software has to be installed on any
client.
The StorPoint CD supports hard
disk caching which means that the
inserted discs can be copied to a hard disk attached to the SCSI or IDE bus. The
caching mechanism allows users to access the networked discs at hard disk speed.
The StorPoint CD supports CD-Recordable drives which means that when a
CD-Recordable drive is connected to the StorPoint CD, it is possible to format
and finalize CD/R and CD/RW discs from the StorPoint CD Web interface.
This table lists the maximum number of drives and discs that can be managed by
a single unit:
Notes:
Throughout this manual, the AXIS StorPoint CD E100 is referred to as
simply StorPoint CD.
The Basic versions of the StorPoint CD do not support hard disk caching or
writing to recordable discs. Thus, all information in this document relating
to these functions does not apply to the Basic versions.
