Accessing CD-ROMs

The CD-ROM server is integrated into your network operating

system just like any other file server and you use the same commands

to access it. To be able to access the CD-ROMs from your Windows,

DOS or UNIX applications, you need to make them available to your

system, that is to “mount” the CD-ROM server. On PC systems, this

is typically done by mapping the server to a drive letter.

The Axis CD-ROM server offers several different possibilities to

specify the access point:

• root level access: The top level of the CD-ROM server directory

structure is used as access point. The user of the CD-ROM server

can access all files on the server including the config and volumes

folders. This is useful for system administrators, who have to be

able to configure and monitor the CD-ROM server.

• cd drive access: The cd folder is used as the access point. The user

can access all CD-ROMs inserted into the drives connected to the

server. On PC systems this makes it possible to use only one drive

letter to access all connected drives. This is the recommended

access for normal users.

• CD-ROM access: A folder for an inserted CD-ROM is used as

access point. Only the files on that CD-ROM can be accessed.

On PC systems this makes it possible to map a drive letter to a

single CD-ROM. This is useful or even necessary with some CD-

ROM software which expects to find its data at root level.
