-
- CD-View V2.02c Demo Copy (7 days)
-
- These Release Notes accompany CD-View Version 2.02c Demo Copy. This
- document should be read by the system administrator.
-
- This 7 day demo copy of CD-View V2.02c is provided for demo
- purposes only. By installing it, you agree to accept the terms and
- conditions of the software license agreement provided in the guide.
-
- Demo Copy Restrictions
-
- This demo copy allows you to test the capabilities of the product.
- As such, the following limitations apply:
-
- · Demo software will only work for 7 days after installation. No
- registration information is required during product installation.
- · Only 2 users are supported.
- · Only 3 volumes are supported.
- Note: As one of the volumes is the default volume SYS:, a
- maximum of 2 CD-ROMs can be supported.
-
- OCDX (Ornetix CD-ROM Extensions) Driver
-
- The full release of CD-View contains the OCDX driver. OCDX was
- developed to overcome the following problems:
-
- · Some old applications require Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions
- (MSCDEX) loaded in order to be able to run. These applications use
- some of MSCDEX's APIs. MSCDEX will not load on a workstation which
- does not have a CD-ROM device driver (and CD-ROM drive) connected
- to it. In addition, when MSCDEX loads, it allocates a large memory
- buffer for its use. All of this is not required when using OCDX.
-
- · Other types of applications access the CD-ROM device driver
- directly for either performance or security reasons. OCDX emulates
- the major functionality of a CD-ROM device driver.
-
- When loaded, OCDX uses about 2KB of memory and emulates the major
- functionality of both MSCDEX and a CD-ROM device driver.
-
- Upgrading from Demo Copy
-
- When upgrading from the Demo copy to the full release, select the
- "Upgrade to New Version" option. This allows you to save bindery
- and setup information used with the Demo Copy.
-
- Enhancements to Setup utility (not mentioned in the manual)
-
- Registration Information Window
- · The security mechanism has been modified. The Registration
- Information window appears at the beginning of the installation
- procedure and not at the end. Use the security information printed
- on the inside cover of the CD-View User's Manual.
-
- Parameter Information Window
- · External Network Number:
- Defines the segment number on which the CD-View server resides.
- Ensure that this number is the correct segment number used by other
- servers and routers on the same segment. If NETX or VLM is loaded,
- the setup program automatically determines the segment number which
- is used as the default value.
- When CD-View loads, if NETX or VLM is loaded, it attempts to find
- the external segment number and compare it with the number
- specified. If they are different, a warning message is displayed
- and CD-View runs using the correct network number. If neither NETX
- nor VLM is loaded, the number provided will always be used. In this
- case, if the number provided is wrong, CD-View will be using a
- wrong network number and will not be accessible.
- · Internal Network Number:
- Defines the internal network number to be used by CD-View. Ensure
- that this number is not used by any other server on the whole
- network. The default value is determined from the ethernet address
- on the Network Interface Card.
- If you specify a number which is used by another server, routing
- warning information will be displayed on your NetWare server's
- console, identifying the problematic network address.
-
- Advanced Setup Window
- · Filter SAP Packets:
- A SAP filtering option has been added to the Advanced Setup
- window. This option allows restriction of SAP dynamic objects
- which are added to the bindery during operation.
- Following are possible options for this field:
-
- Disable Filtering All servers are added to the bindery.
- Accept File Add only advertising file servers to the
- Servers only bindery. (DEFAULT)
- Filter All Servers Don't add to the bindery any objects
- received via SAP.
-
- The default of "Accept File Servers Only" should be used when
- users do not directly login to the CD-View server. If direct
- login is required, this field should be set to "Disable
- Filtering". For more information on direct logins, refer to the
- CD-View Guide.
-
- Volume Information
- Up to 25 volumes (SYS: volume plus 24 CD-ROM volumes) can now be
- displayed in the Volume Information window.
-
- · The first defined volume (SYS:) can now be set to read/write.
-
- Additional Notes
-
- · If CD-View is logged into a NetWare server, you should issue
- the CASTOFF ALL command prior to loading CD-View. This will prevent
- messages from file server consoles and workstations being displayed
- on your workstation and interrupting CD-View.
