Latest News: Firmware Version 5.10
Note for Upgrades
Other
Features
For firmware versions 5.10 and later, this Latest News supplements
the other documents distributed with your HP SureStore
CD/DVD-ROM Server (HP J3278B, J4150A, J4152A).
This release 5.10 can be used to upgrade only the releases
starting with 5.00. It cannot be used with releases starting
with version 4.00, since they run on different hardware such as
HP J3168A, J3169A, J3276A, J3277A, J3278A
SureStore CD-ROM Server/Tower. Your existing firmware
version is identified on the Administration web page for
This Server, when the server is highlighted (and in the
config.ini file in the ServerProperties folder in the
System folder).
AFP Protocol Support for Apple Macintosh
The HP SureStore CD-DVD/ROM Server now supports the
AppleTalk Filing Protocol (AFP) over AppleTalk with EtherTalk,
and over TCP/IP. Any Macintosh client using the native Macintosh
network access tools (such as Chooser) can access any Hierarchical
File System (HFS) CD or DVD on the HP server. These Macintosh
protocols are supported simultaneously with the other protocols
such as IPX/SPX, Microsoft networking, NFS, TCP/IP and HTTP.
Supported operating systems include Mac OS 7.x, 8.x, and
MacOS X Server using AppleShare 3 or later.
Discs written in HFS or ISO9660 format, or both, can be shared.
So, both PC and Macintosh clients may be given access to the same
disc. Data and applications designed only for one operating system
may not be usable by other platforms; however, some files types
such as Microsoft Word or Excel, or graphics formats such as PDF
and EPS, can be used by both platforms. (Conversion of data
between Macintosh and PC formats is not provided.)
HFS-formatted discs can be cached on the HP J4150A
SureStore CD-ROM Server Plus.
You can configure the AppleTalk zone(s) in which the server is
to appear.
