Sharing ODD on the Server Computer
Use the EzODD application that appears on the server computer (with the optical disc drive you
want to share).
1. In the application, select an optical disc drive by clicking on the
drive name in the drop-down list of disc drives.
You can also select an optical disc drive by right-clicking on the EzODD
icon in the system tray in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen.
Then, click on
Select ODD
and select the disc drive you want to share (see
Figure 2).
2. Click on the start button to start sharing the disc drive you selected. This may take a
few seconds.
3. Check the “My Computer” folder on the second computer (the client computer). An
additional disc drive icon should appear, representing the optical disc drive you are remotely
accessing.
4. Click on this icon to access the remote optical disc drive.
5. To finish accessing the remote optical disc drive, click the stop button.
Troubleshooting:
If the drive you want to access is not available, check if the EzODD application is running on the
server computer.
Automatic Sharing
You can set the EzODD application so that sharing the ODD is automatically started on the server
computer after finishing the connection.
Set the application so you can access the optical disc drive automatically on application start-up
by clicking on the
Auto share
checkbox (see Figure 1).
You can also access the optical disc drive automatically by selecting
Auto share
in the console
application (see Figure 2), accessed from the system tray icon on the bottom right of your
screen.
To turn off this feature, click the
Auto share
checkbox in the application (see Figure 1) to clear it,
or click
Auto share
in the console application (see Figure 2) to deselect it.
Hiding the Application
You can also set the EzODD application to run in the background without any visible icons from when
you start your computer.
1. To open the EzODD console application, double click the application icon in the system tray in
the bottom right-hand corner of your screen.
2. Click the
Show console at the start
option to deselect it.
