After configuring the unit with an IP address, we switched to our browser to perform other tasks. With the StorPoint's IP configuration complete, we used our browser to connect to the StorPoint, see all of the CDs and DVDs, configure other aspects of the device such as cacheing parameters, configure user access and create shared volumes. IP issues aside, the rest of the unit was easy to configure. To resolve the performance issues often associated with CD-sharing kits, Axis first relies on a capable hardware configuration. The mirror copy of the CD lasts only for as long as the CD is in the drive.
Archived copies stay until they are deleted.
Though other products offer the ability to cache CDs to an internal hard disk, they do not provide both a mirror and an archive option. E100 makes sharing CDs and DVDs among network users easier and cheaper than traditional solutions. Though it was difficult to assign an IP address to our unit, the system worked well otherwise. IP address was difficult to configure on the test network. All rights reserved.
