HP SureStore CD/DVD-ROM Server
Latest News: Firmware Version 5.10
For firmware versions 5.10 and later, this Latest News supplements
the other documents distributed with your HP SureStore
CD/DVD-ROM Server (HP J3278B, J4150A, J4152A).
Note for Upgrades ❏This release 5.10 can be used to upgrade only the releases
starting with 5.00. It cannot be used with releases starting
with version 4.00, since they run on different hardware such as
HP J3168A, J3169A, J3276A, J3277A, J3278A
SureStore CD-ROM Server/Tower. Your existing firmware
version is identified on the Administration web page for
This Server, when the server is highlighted (and in the
config.ini file in the ServerProperties folder in the
System folder).
AFP Protocol Support for Apple Macintosh
The HP SureStore CD-DVD/ROM Server now supports the
AppleTalk Filing Protocol (AFP) over AppleTalk with EtherTalk,
and over TCP/IP. Any Macintosh client using the native Macintosh
network access tools (such as Chooser) can access any Hierarchical
File System (HFS) CD or DVD on the HP server. These Macintosh
protocols are supported simultaneously with the other protocols
such as IPX/SPX, Microsoft networking, NFS, TCP/IP and HTTP.
Other
Features Supported operating systems include Mac OS 7.x, 8.x, and
MacOS X Server using AppleShare 3 or later.
Discs written in HFS or ISO9660 format, or both, can be shared.
So, both PC and Macintosh clients may be given access to the same
disc. Data and applications designed only for one operating system
may not be usable by other platforms; however, some files types
such as Microsoft Word or Excel, or graphics formats such as PDF
and EPS, can be used by both platforms. (Conversion of data
between Macintosh and PC formats is not provided.)
HFS-formatted discs can be cached on the HP J4150A
SureStore CD-ROM Server Plus.
You can configure the AppleTalk zone(s) in which the server is
to appear.

How to Use the
Documentation This section describes how to set up the server for Apple Macintosh
clients on networks using the AppleTalk Filing Protocol (AFP) over
AppleTalk and EtherTalk. It describes the procedures for accessing
the server from a Macintosh client, for configuring the server
specifically for your network, and for setting up additional
Macintosh clients for access. This section has information that
fulfills a function similar to that served by chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6 in
the User’s Guide.
If your network runs AFP over TCP/IP, then you can assign an
IP address to the server, you can configure and administer the
server using a web browser, and you can access the server’s files
from each Macintosh client using a web browser as well as the
Chooser. For instructions, begin with this Latest News instead of
beginning with the procedures in the User’s Guide in chapter 3,
“Setup for IP Networks and HTTP”.
Reference on Server File System. Different workstations need
different points of access to the server. The network administrator
or installer, for example, needs access to configure and monitor the
server and to configure access rights. Then, the administrator may
want to set up all the clients with access to the discs but without
access to the configuration files stored on the server. Please refer to
the description of access points and the file system used on the
server, in the reference chapter 7 in the User’s Guide.
Server Setup Procedure for Administrator Access and
IP Address Setting
1. On a Macintosh, open the Chooser from the Apple menu.
2. Click the AppleShare icon.

Client Access to
Discs Procedure for Client Access to Discs
1. On a Macintosh, open the Chooser from the Apple menu.
2. Click the AppleShare icon. (See the illustration on page 2.)
•If the AppleTalk and EtherTalk protocols are enabled on
the server and client, then the HP server name should
appear in the Select a file server list. The default server
name is HP
hhhhhh _AT, where hhhhhh
are the last six digits
of the server’s MAC address. However, the server name
may have been changed during configuration. Select the
server and click [OK]. Skip to step 3.

5. An icon for that disc will appear as another share on your desktop.
6. If the disc or drive you attempt to access has a share password
configured by the administrator, the password will be requested.
Access Rights By default, all users have access to all the discs on all the drives on
the server, and the system (configuration) files are protected by the
server password. You can restrict user access to drives, to
individual discs, and to the system files. Specific passwords can be
configured for AFP-specific share-level access control. You can limit
the number of users simultaneously accessing any disc to comply
with user-license restrictions. And we recommend that you restrict
access to the root and System folders on the server.
Access restrictions are set individually for each protocol. If you use
other network protocols in addition to AFP, consult the
User’s Guide for setup of those protocols. The default settings in
some protocols provide full access rights to all users, so we
recommend that you disable all protocols not being used. If you do
not, a user accessing the server through such a protocol may be
given full access rights, regardless of the security configurations in
other protocols. See “Disabling Access for Other Protocols”on
page 8.
User Limits
Click on the Administration tab. Click [Discs & Drives]. Select the
Discs and file system view. For each of the discs and for the root
and for the Volumes folder, you will see an icon in the Access
Rights column (see the next illustration). Click on that icon. An
Access Rights properties page will be displayed.

Under that page’s General tab, you can set the limit for the number
of users simultaneously accessing the volume (for user-license
restrictions).

Latest News: Firmware Version 5.10 13
Share-Level Access Control
A password can be assigned to any server folder or any disc inserted
in a connected drive. The user will automatically be prompted for
the password when trying to access the shared folder. Access will
then be granted to the folder and all its subfolders.
To set this security mode, use the Access Rights properties page.
Click on the Administration tab. Click [Discs & Drives]. Select
the Discs and file system view. For each of the discs and for the
root and for the Volumes folder, you will see an icon in the
Access Rights column. Click on that icon. An Access Rights
properties page will be displayed.
Under that page’s Mac Sharing tab, you can choose to prevent all
access using AFP, or you can select AFP share-level restrictions.
Setting the Password. Set the password for share-level access
here. You can specify the password: select Other and type it in.
Alternatively, you can specify that the server password be required
(the password that grants the administrator access to the web
pages).

Controlling Access by Drive rather than by Disc. On the
Access Rights property page, you can opt to associate the access
rights by drive, for whatever disc in is the drive. Click Drive for
Use the access rights and properties of. Then the disc’s volume
name will be changed to the default SCSI name, such as
CD-id2lun0. You can change this name using the Name field on this
properties page. As a result, the icon in the Access Rights column
will illustrate the key on top of a drive rather than a disc.
(For HP J4150A: If this disc is then archived, the share name
reverts to the disc’s volume name.)
Changing the Share Name of the Volume. The AFP share
name for the volume can be specified using the General tab. (See
the illustration on page 12.) The volume has by default the name
held on the disc itself. You can override the default name by using
the Name setting.
Note ❏Spaces in a volume name will be replaced by underscores.
If the volume name duplicates another volume name, an
underscore and capital-A (then underscore and capital-B, etc.)
will be appended to the duplicate.
These changes take effect as soon as you [OK] each page.
