Microsoft & IBM Networks (SMB)
This section outlines the required configuration settings
for running the Network Cache Changer DRM-6NX in
the Microsoft and IBM (SMB) network environment,
(i.e. Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, Windows
NT or OS/2). It also describes how to set up access
restrictions for individuals and groups of users.
SMB (Server Message Blocks) is a protocol that uses
NetBIOS. NetBIOS may be transported over several
different network protocols. The DRM-6NX supports
the following transport methods:
÷
SMB over NetBIOS/NetBEUI
÷
SMB over NetBIOS/TCP/IP (also designated NBT)
Both protocols are enabled by default. However, you
can disable the protocols not needed by setting the
appropriate configuration parameters.
If you are using the DRM-6NX in a multi-protocol
environment, proceed to the other relevant sections
of the manual:
÷
pp. 20 – 24 - NetWare (NCP)
÷
pp. 25 – 26 - UNIX (NFS)
÷
pp. 27 – 28 - Web (HTTP)
Network Settings
Use the
Administration
pages within the DRM-6NX
interface to configure the Network Cache Changer.
Refer to “
Accessing DRM-6NX Web Pages”, page 16.
SMB Server Name
The default SMB server name is
PIONEER<nnnnnn>
,
where <nnnnnn> is the last six digits of the DRM-6NX
serial number. This is the name that will be presented
to the Windows clients on the network. You can change
that name by editing the
SMB Server Name
parameter.
It can be useful to choose a more descriptive name such
as indicating where the unit is located.
