Handling Precautions
Installation
Select an installation site with a flat, solid surface.
Do not install the system where it will suffer any of the
following:
1Exposure to direct sunlight or a heater
2High humidity or dust
3Proximity to bathroom or kitchen
4Exposure to spotlight
5Proximity to any large electric apparatus such as a
refrigerator, air conditioner, dimmer, etc.
6Uneven or unsteady installation surface
7Difficulty of service and maintenance
Ifyouinstallthesystemclosetoawall,besuretoleave
a space between the wall and the system so that the
rear of the system is accessible.
Handling precautions
÷Be careful not to stain, scratch or leave fingerprint,
etc.,onthesignalsurface,orrecordingsurfaceofthe
discs. The specified playback performance or
recording performance may not be obtained with
such discs.
÷The unit can accommodate only the discs with a
diameter of 12 cm (4.72").
÷Since the disc rotates at a high speed in the unit,
vibrations or noise may be generated as a result.
Note that this is not a malfunction and that it will not
exertadverseeffectsontheperformanceoftheunit.
Condensation
If the temperature difference between the unit and
environmentistoolarge,waterwillcondenseintheunit
and the system may not provide proper performance.
Forexample,ifyoubringtheunitintoawarmroomfrom
outside in cold weather, or if you increase room
temperature abruptly, condensation may result.
Ifcondensationoccurs,leavetheunitforonehourintheroom,
or increase room temperature gradually before using it.
Handling the discs
÷ Use only those discs which display
the mark shown th the right.
÷ Avoid touching the signal surface when you use a disc
÷To hold it, place your fingers on the edge of the disc
or the edge of the center hole and the disc edge
÷ Do not attach paper or stickers to the label side of the disc
Handle discs carefully and avoid damaging the label
÷Discs rotate at high speed in the unit. Do not use
defectivediscs(e.g.,crackedorconsiderablywarped)
as such discs may damage the unit
Disc care
÷Fingerprints or dust on the disc will not directly
influence the recorded signals. However, sound
quality may decline since such contamination
diminishes the intensity of the light reflected from
the signal side.
Therefore,discsshouldbekept
clean. When you clean a disc,
use a soft cloth and carefully
wipe towards the outer edge
of the disc.
÷If the disc is heavily soiled, wipe off the dirt using a
softclothsoakedwithwater. Wipeexcesswateroff
with a dry cloth.
÷Do not use an aresol record cleaner or antistatic
agent. Donot use benzine, thinner or similar volatile
chemicals as they may damage the disc surface.
Disc storage
÷CDs are made of plastic, like conventional audio
records. Take proper care to prevent discs from
warping. Always put them in a case and store
vertically away from humidity or extremes of
temperature.
Do not leave your discs in a car for a long periods.
÷Read the instructions supplied with the discs.

Basic Installation
Before you begin
Make sure that the DRM-6NX is powered up and
connected to the network.
Internet Address
Obtain an address from the Network Administrator.
System Privileges
You will require Root privileges on the UNIX system
or Administrator privilegesontheWindowsNTservers.
Ethernet Address
Depending upon the selected method, you will need
to know the Ethernet address of your DRM-6NX. The
Ethernet address is based upon the internal network
board serial number found on the attached label.
Important!
Do not use the default (192.36.253.80) or example
Internet address when installing your DRM-6NX.
Always consult the Network Administrator before
assigning an Internet address.
Mapping a Host Name to the Internet Address
Ifyouareusinghostnames,youcanmapauniquehost
name to the acquired Internet address. Refer to your
system manuals or to the Network Administrator for
instructions on how to perform name mapping on the
particular system.
NOTE:
7 If the host name has not been included in the system host table,
youcanstillperformthefollowinginstructionsonhowtodownload
the Internet address. In this case, simply replace the host name
entry with the Internet address wherever required.
Procedures

the appropriate method for your system.
DHCP
Follow the steps below to use the DHCP method:
1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the
DHCPdaemon.ForWindowsNTservers,refertothe
" Windows NT Resource Kit " for instructions. The
entries made in this scope typically include the
following parameters:
÷Range of Internet addresses
÷Subnet mask
÷Default router Internet address
÷Lease duration
÷Mail server Internet address
Assigning an Internet Address
TheDRM-6NXsupportsHTTPoverTCP/IP,whichmeans
that it works as a web server available to the Internet
and intranets. To establish communication with the
TCP/IPnetwork,youmustassignanappropriateInternet
addresstoyourDRM-6NXasan addressassignment is
required to access the DRM-6NX web interface.
You can set the Internet address of the DRM-6NX
Changer using either DHCP, ARP, RARP or BOOTP.
All methods are enabled by default. Each Method is
describedbelow:
DHCP
DHCPisavailableinWindowsNTandUNIX.Itoperates
on the entire network and allows for automatic but
temporary assignment of Internet addresses from a
central pool. DHCP will, when enabled, cause the
selected host to automatically allocate and download a
freeInternetaddress,defaultrouteraddressandsubnet
mask to the requesting DRM-6NX. It also provides
validation data that defines how long the Internet
addresses will remain valid.
ARP
ARPisavailableinWindows95,WindowsNT,UNIXand
OS/2. It requires the Internet address for each new
devicetobedownloadedindividually.Itisnotappropriate
to use this method over routers.
RARP
RARP is available in UNIX. It downloads the Internet
address to each device automatically. This method
requires a RARP daemon on your system and operates
within a single network segment only.
BOOTP
BOOTP is available in UNIX and is similar to RARP
althoughitcanoperateontheentirenetwork.Itrequires
a BOOTP daemon on the system. A request made to
anactive BOOTP orRARP daemoninitiates asearch of
the Ethernet address table (RARP daemon), or boot
table(BOOTPdaemon)foran entrymatchingtheunit's
Ethernet address. If a matching entry is found, the
daemon then downloads the Internet address to the
device.

Basic Installation
ARP in Windows 95 and Windows NT
Perform the following commands to download the
Internet address and verify correct Internet communi-
cation:
1.StartaDOSwindowandtypethefollowingcommand:
arp -s <Internet address> <Ethernet address>
2. Ping the unit as follows:
ping <Internet address>
Example:
arp -s 172.16.253.80 00-40-8c-10-00-86
ping 172.16.253.80
The host will return 'Reply from 172.16.253.80 . . . '
orsomesimilarmessage.Thisindicatesthattheaddress
has been set and the communication is established.
Important!
Windows 95 only: If the ARP table is empty, you
must first ping an existing unit on your network
before setting the Internet address of your DRM-
6NX. Type arp -a to display the ARP table.
NOTES:
7 Please note that when you execute the ping command for the
firsttime,you willexperienceasignificantlylonger responsetime
7 ARP and PING commands should be used consecutively in order
to set an IP address to this product.
With this method, IP address can be changed in 30 minutes after
the server is started up.
The confirmation by Web Browser is recommended.
If you have some problem, please see ARP command help.
÷DNS server Internet address
÷Domain name
÷NTP server Internet address
2.Activate the scope.
Inthe DRM-6NXconfiguration file, DHCPis enabledby
default. The Internet address and all the other settings
will be downloaded automatically.
NOTE :
7 It takes a few minutes to get the IP address from the DHCP server
ARP in UNIX and OS/2
Follow these steps to download the Internet address
and verify the communication:
1.Type the following command:
arp -s <host name> <Ethernet address> temp
2.Ping the unit as follows:
ping <host names>
Example:
arp-s cdserv 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
ping cdserv
The host will return 'cdserv is alive' , or a similar
message to indicate that the address has been set and
that communication is established.
NOTES:
7 Please note that when you execute the ping command for the
firsttime,youmayexperienceasignificantlylongerresponsetime
7 The arp -s command may vary from system to system. Some
BSD-typesystemsexpectthe hostnameandEthernet address in
reverse order, whereas IBM AIX systems require the additional
argument ether . For example:
arp -s ether <host name> 00:40:8c:l0:00:86 temp
RARP in UNIX
Follow these steps to use the RARP method in UNIX:
1.Append the following line to your Ethernet address
table.Thisistypicallyperformedusingthecommand
/etc/ethers:
<Ethernet address> <host name>
Example:
00:40:8c:10:00:86 cdserv
2. If necessary, update your host table and alias name
databases as required by your system.
3. If it is not already running, start the RARP daemon.
This is typically done using the command rarpd -a .
4. Restart the DRM-6NX to download the Internet
address.
