÷ Discs rotate at high speed in the unit. Do not use  
defective discs (e.g., cracked orconsiderablywarped)  
as such discs may damage the unit  
If you install the system close to a wall, be sure to leave  
a space between the wall and the system so that the  
rear of the system is accessible.  
CAUTION RE: USE OF SHAPED CD’s  
7 Th is p ro d u ct is d e s ig n e d fo r u s e w ith  
conventional, fully circular CDs only  
7 Use of shaped CD’s is not recom m ended for  
this product  
CAUTION  
7 This unit contains a hard disk drive and m ust  
not be exposed to shock.  
7 Do not turn off the power when the disk drive is  
running, especially not during caching (when  
data is written to the disk). The front panel HDD  
indicator shows hard disk operation. See page  
8 for details.  
7 Pioneer disclaim s all liability arising in  
connection with the use of shaped CDs  
7 Do not connect a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive  
other than a Pioneer drive to the SCSI term inal  
on the rear panel. Do not connect this term inal  
to a SCSI controller as this could cause  
m alfunction or breakdown.  
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.  
Handling precautions  
÷ Be careful not to stain, scratch or leave fingerprint,  
etc., on the signal surface, or recording surface of the  
discs. The specified playback performance or  
recording performance may not be obtained with  
such discs.  
Therefore, discs should be kept  
clean. When you clean a disc,  
use a soft cloth and carefully  
wipe towards the outer edge  
÷ The unit can accommodate only the discs with a  
diameter of 12 cm (4.72").  
of the disc.  
÷ 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  
exert adverse effects on the performance of the unit.  
÷ If the disc is heavily soiled, wipe off the dirt using a  
soft cloth soaked with water. Wipe excess water off  
with a dry cloth.  
÷ Do not use an aresol record cleaner or antistatic  
agent. Do not use benzine, thinner or similar volatile  
chemicals as they may damage the disc surface.  
Condensation  
If the temperature difference between the unit and  
environment is too large, waterwillcondense in the unit  
and the system may not provide proper performance.  
For example, if you bring the unit into a warm room from  
outside in cold weather, or if you increase room  
temperature abruptly, condensation may result.  
If condensation occurs, leave the unit for one hour in the room,  
or increase room temperature gradually before using it.  
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.

Before you begin  
Make sure that the DRM-6NX is powered up and  
Assigning an Internet Address  
The DRM-6NXsupports HTTP overTCP/IP, which means  
that it works as a web server available to the Internet  
and intranets. To establish communication with the  
TCP/IP network, you must assign an appropriate Internet  
address to your DRM-6NX as an address assignment is  
required to access the DRM-6NX web interface.  
connected to the network.  
Internet Address  
Obtain an address from the Network Administrator.  
System Privileges  
You will require Root privileges on the UNIX system  
orAdministrator privileges on the Windows NTservers.  
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  
described below:  
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.  
DHCP  
DHCP is available in Windows NT and UNIX. It operates  
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  
free Internet address, default routeraddress and subnet  
mask to the requesting DRM-6NX. It also provides  
validation data that defines how long the Internet  
addresses will remain valid.  
Im portant!  
Do not use the default (192.36.253.80) or exam ple  
Internet address when installing your DRM-6NX.  
Always consult the Network Adm inistrator before  
assigning an Internet address.  
Mapping a Host Nam e to the Internet Address  
If you are using host names, you can map a unique host  
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.  
ARP  
ARP is available in Windows 95, Windows NT, UNIXand  
OS/2. It requires the Internet address for each new  
device to be downloaded individually. It is not appropriate  
to use this method over routers.  
NOTE:  
7
RARP  
If the host name has not been included in the system host table,  
you can stillperform the following instructions on how to download  
the Internet address. In this case, simply replace the host name  
entry with the Internet address wherever required.  
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.  
Procedures  
Download the Internet address to your DRM-6NX using  
BOOTP  
the appropriate method for your system.  
BOOTP is available in UNIX and is similar to RARP  
although it can operate on the entire network. It requires  
a BOOTP daemon on the system. A request made to  
an active BOOTP or RARP daemon initiates a search of  
the Ethernet address table (RARP daemon), or boot  
table (BOOTP daemon) for an entry matching the unit's  
Ethernet address. If a matching entry is found, the  
daemon then downloads the Internet address to the  
device.  
DHCP  
Follow the steps below to use the DHCP method:  
1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the  
DHCP daemon. ForWindows NTservers, referto the  
"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

Ba s ic In s t a lla t io n  
÷ DNS server Internet address  
÷ Domain name  
÷ NTP server Internet address  
2. Activate the scope.  
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>  
In the DRM-6NX configuration file, DHCP is enabled by  
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 Windows 95 and Windows NT  
Perform the following commands to download the  
Internet address and verify correct Internet communi-  
cation:  
Exam ple:  
arp-s cdserv 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp  
ping cdserv  
1. Start a DOS window and type the following command:  
arp -s <Internet address> <Ethernet address>  
2. Ping the unit as follows:  
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 pingcommand for the  
first time, you mayexperience a significantlylongerresponse time  
ping <Internet address>  
7
The arp -scommand may vary from system to system. Some  
BSD-type systems expect the host name and Ethernet address in  
reverse order, whereas IBM AIX systems require the additional  
argument ether. For example:  
Exam ple:  
arp -s 172.16.253.80 00-40-8c-10-00-86  
ping 172.16.253.80  
arp -s ether <host name> 00:40:8c:l0:00:86 temp  
The host will return 'Reply from 172.16.253.80 . . . '  
orsome similarmessage. This indicates that the address  
has been set and the communication is established.  
RARP in UNIX  
Follow these steps to use the RARP method in UNIX:  
Im portant!  
1. Append the following line to your Ethernet address  
table. This is typically performed using the command  
/etc/ethers:  
Windows 95 only: If the ARP table is em pty, you  
m ust first ping an existing unit on your network  
before setting the Internet address of your DRM-  
6NX. Type arp -ato display the ARP table.  
<Ethernet address> <host name>

Please note that when you execute the pingcommand for the  
first time, you will experience a significantly longer response time  
00:40:8c:10:00:86 cdserv

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.  
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.

When installing the first DRM-6NX in your NDS tree, the DRM-  
6NX will try to extend the NDS Schema with a new attribute to the  
NCP server” class. The extension is needed for storing the DRM-  
6NX's file system rights, (i.e. access rights to the discs and the  
system files). The new attribute is called “PIONEER:SPcd:rights”.  
This new attribute will not affect the operation of your NetWare  
servers. The schema extension has been approved by Novell.  
Adding the schema extension requires Supervisor rights to the  
[Root] object of the NDS Directory tree. This means that the user  
in the NDS Adm in Nam e parameter must have Supervisor  
access rights.

Authentication to a NetWare 3.x Server  
For access to a DRM-6NX connected to a NetWare 3.x  
server, authentication is checked against the user list in  
the bindery of the NetWare server:  
Access Control  
Security Management within NetWare depends upon  
the selected mode:  
÷ Bindery mode without user authentication  
÷ Bindery mode with user authentication  
÷ NDS mode  
÷ If a user is on the list, the password will be verified  
If the password is correct, the user will be granted  
access  
÷ If the password is incorrect, log in will fail  
If a user is not on the list, access to the DRM-6NX is  
refused. However, a user may log in as a guest  
and obtain access to volumes that are not protected  
The DRM-6NX acts as a typical NetWare file server,  
which means use standard procedures such as Filer  
and NWAdmin for handling security  
NOTE:  
7
You cannot set up access restrictions forthe NetWare environment  
via the DRM-6NX web interface.  
Default Access Rights  
The default access rights in NetWare bindery mode are  
set up by the following trustee assignments:  
÷ The root of the SYS volume has [EVERYONE] as  
trustee with File Scan, Read, Write, Create, Modify  
and Erase rights  
÷ The system and wwwroot folders have all rights  
except Supervisor filtered. Thus all system files are  
effectively protected from unauthorized users  
NetWare Bindery Without Authentication  
If user authentication is not required, you do not have to  
specify an authentication server. The Supervisor can  
log in using the Server password. Other users can log in  
without password and will be considered to belong to  
the EVERYONE group.  
NetWare server licenses are not required since the  
DRM-6NX does not log on to the file server.  
NOTE:  
7
Use Filer to change the default access rights  
Use the standard NetWare administration tool,  
(e.g. Filer) to limit DRM-6NX system file access to  
the Supervisor. Unauthorized users will have guest  
access to the volumes. This is normally sufficient  
security for a DRM-6NX.  
Setting Security Rigths in NetWare Bindery  
The securityrights can be set using standard procedures,  
e.g. Filer.  
If you want to make all of the volumes in the DRM-6NX  
available to some users only, limit access to all the  
volumes:  
NetWare Bindery With Authentication  
If user access control is required, you must specify an  
authentication server in the Authentication Server  
parameter. The DRM-6NX will need to log on to the  
authentication server in order to authenticate the user  
and read which groups the user belongs to. In this case,  
the authentication server must have a standby license  
forthe DRM-6NX, but severalDRM-6NXs can share this  
license. If a license is not available, the user will still be  
authenticated but group information cannot be read.  
1. Login as Supervisor on the DRM-6NX. In order for  
Filer to access the DRM-6NX, the client must have an  
active connection.  
2. Login as Supervisor on your NetWare Bindery file  
server and start Filer.  
3. Change the current directory to  
PIONEER<nnnnnn>_NW/SYS:.  
4. Remove the [EVERYONE] trustee from the root.  
5. Add a new trustee assignment to the root.  
Authorized users will have configurable rights to the  
volumes of the DRM-6NX.  
If you want to restrict access to one or more volumes  
but grant all users access to most volumes, limit access  
to individual resources:  
The authentication procedure reduces the Administrator  
overhead as there is no need for maintaining a separate  
user database for the DRM-6NX. If the user is defined  
in the file s e rve r that the DRM-6NX us e s for  
authentication, the user will automatically have access  
to the DRM-6NX.  
1. Login as Supervisor on the DRM-6NX. In order for  
Filer to access the DRM-6NX, the client must have an  
active connection.  
2. Login as Supervisor on your NetWare Bindery file  
server and start Filer.  
3. Change the current directory to  
PIONEER<nnnnnn>_NW/SYS:.  
4. On the resource you want to protect, set an inherited  
rights filer and filer ALL rights.

5. Add the new trustee assignment to the resource.  
( available to the users on the trustee list only)  
Setting Security Rights in NetWare NDS  
Because the DRM-6NX acts as a normal NDS file  
server, its NDS security rights can be set using standard  
procedures, e.g. NWAdmin.  
NOTES:  
7
The NetWare bindery access rights for the DRM-6NX can be set  
using Group and User Objects as with any other file server.  
You can always access the DRM-6NX using the user name  
Supervisor and the password specified by the Server Password  
parameter. By default the password is pass.  
If you want to make all of the hard disks inserted into the  
DRM-6NX available to some users only, limit access to  
all the volumes:  
7
1. Log in as Admin then start the NWAdmin  
2. Remove the [Public] trustee from the root of the SYS  
volume  
3. Add the new trustee assignments to the root of the  
SYS volume  
Access Restrictions in NetWare NDS  
In NetWare, access rights for users in bindery mode is  
separate from users accessing the DRM-6NX in NDS  
mode. For this reason, we recommend that you disable  
bindery mode after you have successfully installed the  
DRM-6NX in NDS and thus allow users to log on in NDS  
mode only.  
If you want to restrict access to one or several hard  
disks but grant all users access to most other hard  
disks, limit access to individual resources:  
NOTE:  
7
If NDS mode is not functioning, you can always access the DRM-  
6NX in bindery mode by logging in as Supervisor. This is true even  
if you have disabled bindery mode.  
1. Log in as Admin then start the NWAdmin  
2. On the resource you want to protect, set an inherited  
rights filter then filter ALL rights  
Default Access Rights  
3. Add the new trustee assignments to the resource  
(provides availability to the users in the trustee list only)  
The default access rights protect all the system files,  
which means that only users with Supervisor privileges  
on the DRM-6NX have access to those files. However,  
all users logged into NDS can access the volumes on  
the hard disks. These access rights are set up by the  
following trustee assignments:  
NOTE:  
7
The NetWare NDS access rights for the DRM-6NX can be set  
using Security Equivalence, Group, Container, Organization role,  
and User Objects as with any other NDS file server. There is no  
difference between how you use NWAdmin to set these access  
rights for a DRM-6NX and how you would set the access rights on  
an NDS file server.  
÷ The Supervisor right from the NDS tree is inherited to  
all the volumes on the DRM-6NX. All users who have  
Supervisor privileges in the context in which the  
DRM-6NX was installed will also have Supervisor  
privileges on the DRM-6NX.  
÷ The root of the SYS volume has [Public] as trustee  
with File Scan, Read, Write, Create, Modify and  
Erase rights  
÷ The system and wwwroot folders have all rights  
except Supervisor filtered. Thus, all system files are  
effectively protected from unauthorized users  
NOTES:  
7
If the default security is satisfactory to your system, simply do not  
change anything

The PIONEER Network Cache Changer DRM-6NX  
makes your networked CD/DVD-ROMs available to  
Access Points  
anyone who has the appropriate priviledges on the  
network. Users access the DRM-6NX just like any  
other workstation or file server.  
The DRM-6NXis integrated into yournetworkoperating  
system just like any other file server thus using the  
same acess commands. To be able to access the discs  
from within various applications, mount the DRM-6NX  
(make it available) to your system. On PC systems  
this is typically done by mapping the DRM-6NX  
Changer to a drive letter.  
This section explains how to choose access points  
when mapping the DRM-6NX. It also describes how to  
access the DRM-6NXresources in the following network  
operating systems:  
The DRM-6NX offers several possibilities to specify  
access points:  
÷ Windows 95/98 and Windows NT4.x(SMB, NetWare)  
÷ Windows NT 3.x (SMB)  
÷ Windows for Workgroups (SMB, NetWare)  
÷ OS/2 (SMB)  
÷ Root level access: If the top level of the DRM-6NX  
directory structure is used as the access point, the  
user can access all the files on the DRM-6NX. This is  
useful for the Administrator, who wants to configure  
and monitor the DRM-6NX.  
÷ Volum es folder access: If the Volumes folder is  
used as the access point, the user can access all the  
inserted or persistent discs inserted into the  
connected drives. On PC systems, this makes it  
possible to use one drive letterto access allconnected  
drives. This is the recommended access for network  
users.  
÷ DOS (SMB, NetWare)  
÷ UNIX (NFS)  
NOTES:  
7
The examples will assume that you have not changed the default  
server name. The default server name is PIONEER<nnnnnn> in  
the SMB environment and PIONEER<nnnnnn>_NW in NetWare.  
<nnnnnn> are the six last digits of the DRM-6NX serial number. If  
you have changed the server name, use the new name where the  
examples refer to the default name.  
7
Depending on the access rights set up by the Administrator, you  
might be prompted to supply a password or receive a message  
similar to Access is deniedwhen trying to access a shared  
resource on the DRM-6NX.  
÷ Disc access: If the folder for a particular disc is used  
as the access point, the user can access only the files  
on that disc. This is useful or even necessary with  
software that expects to find its data at root level.

Ha rd Dis k Ca c h in g  
The Network Cache Changer DRN-6NX has hard disk  
for caching which means that discs in the Changer  
may be copied to a hard disk drive. The caching system  
involves directory caching and complete mirroring.  
It allows the networked discs to run at hard disk speed.  
4. Click Edit on the This sever page (The Server  
Settings dialog box appears)  
5. Open the Caching page  
The DRM-6NX Changer also supports hard disk caching  
for externally connected CD/DVD-ROM drives. See page 10.  
Disc Changers  
Because of the relatively long time needed to change  
discs in a disc changer, the data transfer rate may  
be com e unacce ptably low w he n tw o us e rs  
simultaneously attempt to read different discs. Hard  
disk caching significantly increases the access speed  
if you are using changers.  
Persistent Use  
The hard disk caching facility allows you to make the  
cached discs persistent, (i.e. allow users to access the  
copies even if the original discs are ejected from the  
drives). Persistent discs that are currently not inserted  
will always remain cached on the hard disk. This means  
that if the hard disk becomes full, the DRM-6NX does  
not overwrite data which is no longer available on to  
an inserted disc.  
6. Specify caching level:  
None – No caching  
Norm al – Only the directory structure will be cached  
on new CDs  
Mirror –Complete caching ;the hard diskcontains a  
complete copy of the mirrored disc. This method  
allows faster user access, but takes more time  
to complete when a new disc is inserted. If the  
disc drives are frequently changed then automatic  
mirroring is not recommended.  
As it takes between 2 and 20 minutes to copy one  
CD-ROM, performance decreases if the DRM-6NX  
is constantly busy copying discs to a hard disk drive.  
Persistent – Complete caching  
Capacity  
The number of discs that can be cached depends on the  
size of the hard disk as well as the size of the individual  
discs. For example, a 4.3 Gbyte hard disk allows six 650  
Mbyte CD-ROMs to be cached. However, if each disc  
contains only 100 Mbyte, about 40 discs can be cached  
on the hard disk.  
The persistent disc will be accessible to the users  
even if the original disc is ejected from the drive.  
NOTE:  
7
This product does not support cachingDVD discs.  
NOTES:  
7
You can change the default settings for particular discs later on the  
Discs & Drives page.  
7
If an access request is received from the network while the DRM-  
6NX is caching (copying discs to the hard disk), the network  
request is given priority, to allow data transmission to take place.  
During this time, the caching is interrupted, and resumes about  
one minute after complection of the network access.  
The caching level of factory default is Mirror.  
Managing Hard Disk Caching  
7
You manage the hard disk caching facility via the DRM-  
6NX web interface.  
If you want to set the normal caching mode, you have to change  
the caching level before you insert the magazine.

The Volum es Folder  
Directory Structure  
When a disc is inserted into a connected drive, a  
subfolder for that volume will be created in the Volumes  
folder. The files on that disc can be accessed through  
this folder. By default, the Volum es folder is available  
to all users. However, the Administrator can set a  
password to protect it.  
The DRM-6NX will appear to your system as a file  
server. Like any other file server it has a directory  
structure where files are stored. The directory structure  
of the DRM-6NX is outlined below:  
The names of the subfolders found under the Volumes  
folder will comply with the following rules:  
÷ If the Administrator sets a volume name, the  
volume is re-named from the disc label name  
÷ If no volume name has been set, the volume label  
held on the disc will be used

÷ If the disc does not have a volume label and no  
volume name has been set, the DRM-6NX will  
....  
automaticallyallocate a name ofthe form <nnnnnnnnn>  
,
where <nnnnnnnn>is a unique eight digit number  
The purpose of each folder is explained on the following  
pages.  
Often the volume label is not a good representation of  
the disc contents. A volume name is a convenient way  
of setting a more specific or recognizable name.  
The System folder  
The System folder includes configuration information  
about the DRM-6NX, (e.g. configuration settings,  
connected drives, inserted discs, access rights etc.).  
The System folder contains these subfolders:  
Im portant!  
If you wish to run an application that is stored on a  
disc or looks for its associated files on a disc, you  
cannot use an alias nam e because the application  
will not recognize it.  
÷ Device Properties - Includes one text file for each  
connected drive (i.e. CD/DVD-ROM drives and hard  
disks)  
÷ Server Properties - Includes the configuration  
parameter list, event log and statistics files  
÷ Volum e Properties - When a disc is inserted into a  
connected drive, a text file for that disc will be  
created. If specified, the volume name will be used.  
If the no volume name has been set, the volume label  
will be used. If the disc does not have a volume label,  
the DRM-6NX will use a unique eight digit number. If  
the disc is not formatted or uses an unknown file  
system, the text file will be named unknown##.txt  
.

This section provides useful information to resolve  
difficulty you may experience with your DRM-6NX:  
The Front Panel Indicators  
The front panel indicators show the status of the DRM-  
6NX. The indicators have the following functions:  
÷ Status - Flashes during startup (When the DRM-6NX  
is ready for use, the light goes out. The LED remains  
off, unless an error condition occurs.)  
÷ The front panel indicators  
÷ Errors when accessing the DRM-6NX  
÷ Problems running CD-ROM software  
÷ Difficulties locating the DRM-6NX in NetWare  
÷ Problems locating the domain controller in SMB  
÷ Problems when accessing disc changers  
÷ Restoring the factory default settings  
÷ The others  
÷ HDD - Flashes to indicate hard disk activity and SCSI  
activity  
Caution!  
Never turn off the power when the hard disk  
drive is active (while a HDD indicator is flashing)  
÷ Network-Flashes to indicate the presence ofnetwork  
traffic  
The latest information regarding this product is  
provided at  
÷ CHANGER - Lit when data is read from the internal  
changer and when the SCSI bus is accessed  
÷ Power - Indicates that power is connected to the  
DRM-6NX (This LED remains lit and is only used  
to indicate power is present in the DRM-6NX unit)

**** Disable the function by setting the Disconnect/Reselect parameter to

If you have inserted a CD-ROM successfully but the  
software refuses to run orproduces errormessages, the  
program may expect the CD-ROM data to be at the root  
level. In NetWare as well as in the Microsoft and IBM  
network operating system environments, assign a  
drive letter to that particular CD-ROM. In NetWare,  
the ' Show All Volum es ' parameter must also be  
enabled. See also “Accessing the Network Cache  
Changer Resources” on page 29.  
Status Indicator On  
If the Status indicator remains lit after startup, it may  
indicate an error. Usually it is a problem with the SCSI bus  
orwith one ormore of the connected disc drives. Verify  
that all connected drives have unique SCSI addresses  
and that onlythe last drive in the SCSIchain is terminated.  
Some CD-ROMs, (e.g single user version of a  
Computer Select”), require the MSCDEX (Microsoft)  
driver. The volume is usually released in a network  
version as well. An MSCDEX emulation, called  
PIONEERCDEX, is available on the Axis web site. The  
emulator causes a CD-ROM on the DRM-6NX to  
look as if it we re locally conne cte d to the PC.  
PIONEERCDEX supports Windows for Workgroups.  
but an MSCDEX emulation forWindows 95 is available.  
Ifthe CD-ROM is a single userversion, you must restrict  
the number of simultaneous users to one.  
Some applications look for information on the CD-ROM  
using a default name - if you have set an alias name, the  
disc may not be recognized thus fails to run.

Difficulties Locating the Netw ork Cache  
Changer in NetWare  
Problem s Locating the Dom ain Controller  
in Window s (SMB)  
If there is a problem locating the primary domain  
controller when running user-level security mode  
in Windows (SMB), all users will be denied access to  
the DRM-6NX.  
Fram e Types - Ethernet  
There are basicallytwo different frame types on Ethernet  
networks, Ethernet II or IEEE 802.3. The IEEE 802.3  
frame can be encapsulated in an IEEE 802.2 LLC frame  
or a SNAP frame. All four frame types are enabled by  
default with the value auto, which means that your  
DRM-6NX automatically adapts to the frame type used  
on the network. This will meet most requirements.  
Frame types used in your network will be supported  
by the DRM-6NX.  
Web Browser  
To verifyconfiguration settings forthe DRM-6NXweb  
interface, access the Administration pages. Click on  
Network Settings and Detailed View then open the  
Windows (SMB) tab.  
Local Adm inistrator Account  
However, depending upon the network, you may want  
the DRM-6NX to ignore some frame types. If your net-  
workhas multiple sections with different frame types on  
some of the sections, then the Changer might log  
on to the wrong network area and adapt to a frame  
type incompatible with the intended network section.  
For this reason, you have the option to disable specific  
frame types bychanging the parameterfrom auto to off.  
To locate the Domain Controller in Windows NT, log on  
to the DRM-6NX as the local administrator. Note that  
a local administrator is not the same as an Administrator  
with an account on the domain.  
In the Map Network Drive dialog, specify the following:  
Path:  
The DRM-6NX nam e  
Connect as: Server nam e\Adm inistrator  
Password:  
The password set in the  
ServerPassword param eter  
Alternatively, mark the frame type with the eight digit  
number appropriate to your network segment , such  
as 00-3F-B5-01. Usually marking is un-necessary as  
the auto-detection will handle most situations. To  
create this mark, edit the config.sys file using a  
text editor. Althought you cannot enter the network  
number from a Web Browser, you may display the  
frame type and change the value to auto or off  
if required.  
Exam ple:  
The host name of the DRM-6NX is cdserv  
.
Path:  
\\cdserv\root  
Connect as:  
cdserv\Administrator  
NOTE:  
7
In Windows 95, you cannot tell the SMB client to change domain  
and user when you are already logged in. Therefore, you cannot  
use the local administrator account to solve domain problems in  
the Windows 95 environment.

Problem s When Accessing Disc Changers  
Restoring Factory Default Settings  
Disc changer flutter can occur if a user requests access  
to a CD-ROM while a second user is reading data from  
another CD-ROM. The changer may repeatedly switch  
between the two CD-ROM discs, sending small  
bits of data each time, in order to service both users.  
Because ofthe relatively long time needed to change a  
CD-ROM, the data transfer rate for both users may  
become unacceptably low.  
If required, use any of the methods listed below to  
restore the factory default settings to a DRM-6NX  
(e.g. if you have disabled all network protocols)  
÷ Web browser  
÷ FTP on a TCP/IP network  
÷ Reset button  
Step by step instructions for each method are given  
below.  
NOTES:  
The J ukeBox Lock Tim e parameter in the DRM-6NX  
configuration file specifies how long a userhas exclusive  
access to a CD-ROM during a data read operation. This  
is to prevent disc change flutter and to optimize the  
access speed when many users are reading different  
discs in the same changer.  
7
The node address, the Hardware Address parameter, will remain  
unchanged, but all other parameters will be restored. You will thus  
need to re-assign the Internet address to re-establish the Web  
browser connection.  
7
All Cached data in the HDD is cleared when restoring the factory  
default setting.  
The J ukeBox Lock Tim e parameter will ensure that  
when there are simultaneous requests for access to  
different discs, a sizable block of data is transferred to  
each user before the access is changed.  
Web Brow ser  
To restore the defaults settings using a Web browser:  
1. Start the Web browser  
2. Click Adm inistration  
3. Click PIONEER Changer  
4. Click Factory Defaults  
÷ If the J ukeBox Lock Tim e parameter is set too low,  
the data transfer rate will be unacceptably slow  
÷ If the J ukeBox Lock Tim e parameter is set too high,  
the disc drive willtime-out on a second users request  
before the first user’s transfer is complete. This will  
result in users receiving a CD-ROM not available’  
notice.  
The factory default setting is restored thrn the DRM-6NX  
reboots automatically  
FTP  
To restore the default settings using FTP:  
The default setting is 0 seconds which disables this  
function.  
1. Log in to the DRM-6NX with the command:  
ftp <host name>, where <host name> is the name  
assigned in your system's host table  
NOTE:  
2. Enter the user id and password (Use the user id  
'root'which has the default password 'pass'  
7
Ifsome drive erroroccurs during caching/reading, Caching/Reading  
is canceled and the drive and discs become disabled. Only by  
restarting this product can the condition. be cleared.  
(rootis the user id with the highest priority)  
3. Restore the default setting with the command:  
get defaults  
(The unit will then automatically reboot)  
4. Log out using one of the commands quit byeor exit  
,
depending upon your FTP version

Flash Memory  
The software that runs on the DRM-6NXis stored  
in Flash Memory. This is a memory chip that, like  
ordinary ROM memory, keeps its contents even  
when the power is turned off. What makes it  
unique is the possibility to erase its contents and  
write new data to it. This means that when software  
updates are available for your DRM-6NX, you may  
update the software without having to replace any  
parts. The new software is simply loaded into the  
memory over the network.  
Your Dealer  
Contact your dealer to check if there has been any new  
versions of the software. You should have your present  
version numbers ready to compare against the latest  
software issues from PIONEER.
