SMB Access to mediaserver

Hello Fredrik,

  We did not make the Axon password protected. There may be an issue with the motherboard BIOS. I suggest replacing the BIOS battery and then restore defaults in the exit page of the BIOS.

Hi, Do you have any description/pictures where the battery is located on the Barco DML-1200?

Hi Fredrik, I am sorry but I don't have any pictures of the DML with Axon. It was a Barco product discontinued for over 10 years.  It was a typical motherboard BIOS battery that will look similar to the picture below.  We did not require passwords to access any part of CMA or Axon. There was a version of the DML which had a different media server in it when Barco first released the DML. I think it was the Hippotizer.

Thanks Chris,

The MediaServer is a Axon system.

When trying to access the media server via SMB I'm asked for credentials

Here's a log from CMA accessing the Axon server via SMB

And there seems to be a password required for the Administrator user

  We did not require a password to access CMA. If Axon is not booting or running correctly then this may be why it's asking for a password. See my previous reply about the BIOS battery.

If the Axon is running correctly, it would be best to try using the last version of CMA available here: MA v1.0.3.525 (Content Management Application) (Note: to use install Microsoft WSE 3.0 first) 

Microsoft WSE 3.0 must be installed before installing the CMA.

Hi Chris,

I'm sorry, I might have been unclear with my goal.

My goal is to replace the CMA with a custom application, that uses SMB to access the filesystem of the Axon Media server. So the question is about the user/passwd for the SMB access between CMA and the server.

/Fredrik

I do not think this will be possible due to the proprietary communication between Axon and the CMA. 

Hi,

Would you consider to share this information, as the product is not supported any longer.

Or do you have an API to CMA that could be used?

/Fredrik

I'm sorry, but we will not be able to share. I suggest using the latest CMA.

OK, thanks.

Is there any API to CMA so I can have an external application accessing it, e.g. Upload File X to Folder Y

/Fredrik

I'm sorry, but CMA is the only app that we have for this.
