Black Box CDTT300A-7-R5 Manual De Usuario

A CD Network Tower combines
networking software and CD-ROM
hardware to let network users share
multiple CD-ROM drives as volumes
on a server.  Because a CD Network
Tower can be attached anywhere on
the network, there is no need to
connect CD-ROM drives directly to
the file server or locally to each
network workstation. It’s specifically
designed for users of Novell

®

NetWare

®

3.11 and above.

CD Network Towers can be attached
directly to Thin Ethernet, 10BASE-T,
or Token Ring network cabling,
through the built-in DiscPort
interface.  It takes just a few minutes
to install the Tower and requires no
network downtime. 

The accompanying software, called
DiscView™, is easily installed
through Windows™ on either a local
drive or the file server.

DiscView (the software that comes
with the CD Network Tower) gives
drag-and-drop access to mounted
CDs, so you can effectively manage
large groups of CD-ROMs.  

With DiscView, a CD Network Tower
CD-ROM drive looks like a volume
on a designated NetWare server. The
CD Network Tower can be placed
anywhere on the network—it doesn’t
have to be close to the server to
which it is logically attached.  And
network CD-ROMs can be read as
NetWare volumes by a workstation
without a TSR on that workstation.

With DiscView, there is minimal
need for network administrator
support.  The network administrator
installs the software on the file
server, loads the network-loadable
modules (NLMs), and assigns
managers. Then any assigned
manager can attach and make CD-
ROMs available to users, all without
being a network supervisor or
equivalent.
