  4. CD-Serv Manager will automatically browse the network to locate all the CDServ7 systems on the network.

  10. The enlarged window will display all of the current configuration information.
  11. Follow the screen prompts to configure the system.

Configure the CDServ7
System configuration can only be done in super-user mode. The susper-user mode is controlled by a password. The default password is cdserv.

  1. Start the super-user mode by selecting Configure / CD-Serv Parameters or clicking the shield icon.
  2. Enter the password when prompted.
  3. The Change Configuration window will open. It shows the current settings of the IP address of the CD-Serv as Not Configured (1.1.1.1), the current name of the CD-Serv as CD<Ethernet address> and the current domain name as WORKGROUP.
  4. Modify the IPAddress, CD-Serv Name, and Domain/Workgroup Name as needed.
  5. Click on OK.
  6. A window will open asking you if the CD-Serv should be reset immediately or you will do it later. The unit must be restarted for the changes to take effect, so click on Yes.
  7. The CDServ7 will restart.

Note: To protect the unit from accidental or unauthorized configuration changes, you may want to establish a new password for your CDServ7. This can be done by selecting Change Password from the Actions menu while in the super-user mode. The password is case sensitive; CDServ7 recognizes upper and lower case letters differently.

Macintosh Setup using MacPing
For the first-time setup of CDServ7, the MacPing utility is necessary for assigning the IP address to the unit. This utility is included in the Apple Internet Connection Kit and is available from Apple Computer.

  5. A window will open.
  6. Choose ASCII format.

  8. Click on OK.
  9. The unit will reboot automatically. As the unit reboots, it will not respond to any other MacPing requests. This is normal and indicates that the unit is rebooting sucessfully.
