Administering MaxAttach

After the MaxAttach unit has been initially configured, you can create users and groups,
build shares/folders and apply security or select NT Passthrough if you are using a
Primary Domain Controller. You can get to the administrator program either via a
browser or MaxNeighborhood.

6.1 Launching the MaxAttach Administration Program

Open MaxNeighborhood and double-click on the name of the MaxAttach you
wish to administer. An alternate method to MaxNeighborhood would be to
launch using your web browser.

6.2 Manage Users

1. To create users and groups, click Manage Users on the left navigation bar. Click
the Add New User button. Enter the user's login name and password for the
Windows 95/98/NT system. Enter the password again and confirm it. Click OK.
2. You can now create a private/home folder for this user. To do this, click the
check box that says Private folder and click Apply. You are done. To create
additional users, click Add New User and repeat the process.
3. You can also create a group. A group is a collection of users with the same access
rights to folders. To create a group, click on the Groups Tab at the top. Click the
Add New Group button. Enter a group name and click OK. Click on the Group
Membership Tab at the top. Select the user or users you wish to add to a group(s).
Select the group, then click Add. Then click Apply.
4. You can also select a method for checking passwords. Click on the User Validation
tab and select MaxAttach (default) or Passthrough and click Apply. You are done.

6.3 Sharing Folders

1. There is already a public share in existence unless you have changed the fac-
tory default drive configuration. At this point, anyone connected to your unit
has access to this share.
2. To create a new share, click on Share Folders in the left navigation bar. A
screen will appear with default folders. If you have created any private fold-
ers, they will also appear. Choose your folder, and then click the New Folder
button. Enter a name for your new folder. Click OK.
