Requirements
To use the Disk Server, you require:
•
Macintosh OS Version 7.5 or later, with Appleshare.
•
LaserWriter 8 (or later) printer, OR the correct printer driver for the printer connected to the Disk Server.
In the latter case, the printer driver must be installed on each Macintosh requiring access to the printer
connected to the Disk Server.
•
The Disk Server Administrator must create a value User Name on the Disk Server for each Mac user.
Otherwise, Mac users will only be able to access the Disk Server by using the guest login.
TCP/IP
Generally, no changes are required.
However, if you previously used a fixed (static) IP Address, but now wish to use the DHCP Server function in
the Disk Server, you must change your TCP/IP settings to make your Mac a DHCP client. Use the proce-
dure below.
To make your MAC a DHCP Client
•
Select Apple - Control Panel - TCP/IP.
•
Select Ethernet, then Setup, then DHCP.
Accessing Disk Storage
1.
Select Chooser from the Apple menu.
2.
Click the Appleshare icon.
3.
If necessary, select the appropriate zone. (By default, the Disk Server is accessible from any zone.)
4.
Select the Disk Server from the list of File Servers, and click OK.
5.
In the Log-in dialog, enter your Name and Password. These must match the values stored on the
Disk Server, or you will not be able to gain access. If the Disk Server Administrator has not created
a User Name for you, click the Guest button. This will allow access to the public share.
6.
A list of "Shares" (Disk Server folders) will be displayed. Use the checkbox to indicate which Shares
you wish to access. If you select a Share to which you do not have access permission, you will see
an error message.
7.
Click OK to finish. An icon for each Share will appear on your desktop. You can use these like any
other folders.

In Chooser, select the printer type matching the printer connected to the Disk Server.
2.
From the list on the right, select the Disk Server, then click Create.
