Section 1 Introduction

The AXIS StorPoint CD

The AXIS StorPoint CD connects CD-ROM drives, towers and

jukeboxes to Ethernet or Token Ring networks. All users on the

network can share the information of any CD-ROM inserted into a

connected drive.

Standalone Module The standalone module, the AXIS StorPoint CD, is available in an

Ethernet or Token Ring version. Up to 7 CD-ROM drives can be

connected via its SCSI connector, and if disc changers are used, up to

56 discs can be accessed.

Tower Module The AXIS StorPoint CD/T has the same functionality as the

standalone module, but the enclosure and connectors are designed for

installation into a CD-ROM tower. The StorPoint CD/T is also

available in a Dual SCSI port version and a Fast Ethernet 100baseTX

version.

Features and Benefits

File Server

Independence

The AXIS StorPoint CD is connected as a node in an Ethernet

network, or as a station in a Token Ring network. To the network the

StorPoint CD acts as a file server. This means that it is independent of

other file servers, i.e. the communication takes place directly between

the network client and the StorPoint CD. This results in high

performance, reliability and independence of other equipment.

Plug and Play The file server independent approach makes the installation quick and

convenient. In most environments the physical connection to the

network is the only installation required prior to starting work with

the StorPoint CD. No software needs to be installed on clients or file

servers. Your computer will see the StorPoint CD as another network

file server, and it is accessed using the standard commands used in

your network operating system.

Environments The AXIS StorPoint CD

can be used simultaneously

from NetWare, Windows,

OS/2, DOS, UNIX and

Internet/intranet clients. It

supports basic messaging

and network protocols:

• NCP over IPX and IP

• SMB over

NetBIOS/NetBEUI

• SMB over

NetBIOS/TCP/IP

• NFS over UDP/IP

• HTTP over TCP/IP.

Section 1: Introduction

AXIS StorPoint CD User’s Manual 7

Internet/intranet

Web server

The built-in Web server makes it possible to access data via any

standard Web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft

Internet Explorer.. The support includes configuration, management

and CD-ROM access.

Speed By using a 32 bit RISC processor and cache memory expandable up to

32 Mbytes, throughput of up to 1300 kbytes/s is obtained – ample

speed for demanding CD-ROM applications.

Security CD-ROM access can be restricted by setting up password protection.

It is also possible to limit the number of simultaneous users of any

CD-ROM to comply with license agreements.

Maintenance New software can easily be downloaded to the StorPoint CD’s Flash

memory over the network using FTP.

Network

Management

The StorPoint CD supports the Simple Network Management

Protocol, SNMP.

Year 2000 The StorPoint CD is year 2000 compliant.

Support At the Axis Web site, http://www.axis.com/, you can download on-

line manuals and the latest versions of the StorPoint CD software and

software utilities. Alternatively, your Axis dealer will provide you with

the assistance or information you require.

The AXIS StorPoint CD is covered with a best-of-breed warranty and

service program. If you take advantage of the Axis User Group free

membership, you can obtain a 5 year warranty, free software upgrades

and support. In the USA and Canada there is also a 24 hour unit

replacement service and a 90 days money back guarantee. You can

access the Axis User Group via the StorPoint CD home page, or check
