LL0703CP Page 5 Friday, October 9, 1998 12:52 PM P R E F A C E Welcome to AppleShare IP 6.1 This book explains how to install and set up AppleShare IP 6.1 and Mac OS 8.5 system software. A separate book, Mac OS 8.5 Installation Manual, provides additional information on Mac OS 8.5. See that book if you need more help installing the Mac OS. AppleShare IP is a general purpose suite of server software that provides a variety of network services.
m The AppleShare IP Mail Server program provides integrated mail storage and mail forwarding services over TCP/IP and AppleTalk networks, including support for Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAPv4), Post Office Protocol (POP), and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). You manage mail services on your server using the Mail Admin program. Help is available onscreen in Tips and AppleShare IP Help.
After You Read This Manual After you use this book to install and set up AppleShare IP 6.1, see the AppleShare Client 3.8 User’s Manual in the AppleShare Client folder on your AppleShare IP CD (or in the Client Software 3.8.1 folder on your server’s hard disk) for instructions on installing the client software. Once you’ve installed and set up the appropriate software on your server and client computers, you can refer to the onscreen documentation for information about using the software.
Learning About AppleShare IP Your main sources of information about AppleShare IP are Tips, AppleShare IP Help, and AppleShare IP Remote Help. After you install your AppleShare IP software, you’ll also find Read Me files and other onscreen documents in the AppleShare IP folder. These documents contain late-breaking news on AppleShare IP or instructions on how to use other software that comes with AppleShare IP.

LL0703C1 Page 9 Friday, October 9, 1998 12:54 PM C H A P T E R 1 1 Installing Your Software Whether you are upgrading from a previous version of AppleShare or installing it for the first time, you need to follow the instructions in this chapter. This chapter tells you how to m plan your AppleShare IP services m prepare your computer’s environment and software m install Mac OS 8.5 and AppleShare IP Note: Your server should already be set up and connected to your network.
Preparing Your Computer’s Environment Before you install your AppleShare IP software, you need to prepare your computer and its environment by considering security issues, system (hardware and software) requirements, and facts about upgrading. Security AppleShare IP uses share points, user authentication, and access privileges to protect data from unauthorized access over a network.
m Memory: You need 48 MB of random access memory (RAM) with virtual memory turned on to run all of the AppleShare IP server programs simultaneously. To run all of the AppleShare IP servers without turning on virtual memory, you need a minimum of 64 MB of RAM. m System software: Mac OS 8.5 is recommended and provided with your AppleShare IP software. TCP Filter software requires Mac OS 8.5; all other features require Mac OS 8.1 or later. Installation instructions for Mac OS 8.
The Mail Database If you’re upgrading your AppleShare IP 5 Mail Server, make sure your Mail Server users download all their mail before you upgrade. If you don’t empty the database before installing the new Mail Server, you’ll need to use the AppleShare IP Mail Tool 6.0 program (on the AppleShare IP 6.1 CD) to update the previous mail database to the new version after you install the new software.
Installing Mac OS 8.5 If your computer is using a version of system software earlier than Mac OS 8.1, you need to upgrade to a newer version of Mac OS before you install AppleShare IP. Mac OS 8.5 is provided with your software. Before you begin the installation, turn off disk-security software that provides password protection and At Ease software. Then follow these steps: 1 Insert the Mac OS 8.5 CD-ROM disc (which came with your AppleShare IP software) into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
Creating Network Settings Setting Your Network Identity You need to set your network identity and password in the File Sharing control panel before you can log on to the servers and make yourself the default owner of shared disks. Note: If you used the Mac OS Setup Assistant after installing Mac OS 8.5, you can skip ahead to “Setting Up Energy Saver” on page 23. After you’ve installed AppleShare IP, you won’t be able to change your network identity in the File Sharing control panel.
Note: If you used the Mac OS Setup Assistant after installing Mac OS 8.5, you can skip ahead to “Setting Up Energy Saver” on page 23. To set up the AppleTalk control panel, follow these steps: 1 Open the AppleTalk control panel. 2 Choose the network connection type that you want AppleTalk to use from the “Connect via” pop-up menu. This setting determines the default port that your server will use to connect to your AppleTalk network.
m you have already set up your TCP/IP control panel. If you will be running any AppleShare IP services with a modem (or “dial-up”) connection to the Internet, skip ahead to “Setting Up TCP/IP and Remote Access (for Modem Access Only)” on page 17. If you won’t be using a modem connection, skip ahead to “Setting Up Energy Saver” on page 23. To set up the TCP/IP control panel, follow these steps: 1 Open the TCP/IP control panel. If TCP/IP is inactive, the following message appears. 2 Click Yes.
7 Type the IP address for your AppleShare IP server in the IP Address text box. An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a set of four numbers from 0 to 255, separated by dots (for example, 172.16.54.2). It identifies your server on the network. Your network administrator or Internet service provider should provide this address. For more information, see the TCP/IP Connections Tutorial in the Tutorials folder on your AppleShare IP CD. Each computer has a unique IP address.
If you’re using a dial-up connection, you probably have an account with an Internet service provider that assigned you one or more IP addresses. How you set up TCP/IP and Remote Access depends on whether your Internet service provider assigned your server a static or dynamic IP address. With static addressing, each computer on your network has a unique IP number. With dynamic addressing, an IP address is assigned to each computer each time it connects to your ISP.
5 Choose PPP from the “Connect via” pop-up menu. PPP stands for “Point-to-Point Protocol,” the protocol used for remote access. 6 Choose Manually from the Configure pop-up menu. 7 Type your computer’s IP address in the IP Address text box, and the IP addresses of your ISP’s domain name server in the “Name server addr” text box. Your ISP will provide the addresses. For information about these settings, see steps 7 and 10 in “Setting Up TCP/IP” on page 15.
The Remote Access control panel appears. 10 Click the Registered User button. 11 In the Name text box, type the name your ISP assigned to you. 12 In the Password text box, type the password your ISP assigned to you. 13 Select the Save Password checkbox. 14 In the Number text box, type the phone number of your ISP. 15 Choose Modem from the Remote Access menu (or the PPP menu if you’re using Mac OS 8.1). The Modem control panel appears.
If you do not see your modem listed, you need to install your modem software. See the documentation that came with your modem. 18 If you want to hear the modem when it dials, click the On button next to Sound. 19 If the telephone line that your modem uses supports tone dialing, click Tone. Otherwise, click Pulse. 20 If the modem should not wait for a dial tone before it begins dialing, select “Ignore dial tone.” 21 Close the Modem window. 22 In the Remote Access window (or PPP window in Mac OS 8.
24 Click the Connection tab. The following window appears. 25 Select “Disconnect if idle.” To change the default of 10 minutes, type a different number in the text box. Note: The Mail Server will disconnect as soon as it has completed checking for or sending mail. 26 If you are using Mac OS 8.1, select “Connect automatically when starting TCP/IP applications.” Then skip to step 29. (If you are using Mac OS 8.5, skip to step 27.
28 Select “Connect automatically when starting TCP/IP applications.” Enabling this feature allows the Mail Server to maintain an open connection with the DNS server so that it can obtain DNS information as needed (to send outgoing mail or check for incoming mail). To learn about the other items in this control panel, choose Show Balloons from the Help menu and point to the item you want to learn more about. 29 Click OK to close the Remote Access (or PPP) control panel.
4 Click the Show Details button and if necessary, deselect the “Separate timing for hard disk sleep” so it is not checked. 5 Choose Server Settings from the Preferences menu. 6 Select “Restart automatically after a power failure.” 7 Select “Never put the hard disk to sleep.” 8 Click OK. 9 Close the Energy Saver control panel.

Note: If you’re installing AppleShare IP for the first time and following the instructions in this manual, you may only have one registered user, besides yourself, in the Users & Groups List. After you’ve created your remaining users, don’t forget to set up mail for them too.
6 Click the Enable button. When mail is enabled, the user can connect to this computer for mail service. The User window shows the user’s mail account name below the Enable button. Be sure to tell this user to enter this account name and the password you assigned in the General panel when setting up his or her log-on information in a mail application. Important 7 Click Save. Mail is set up for this user.
Setting Up the Print Server for the First Time The Print Server lets you set up queues. A queue contains a list of print jobs that are being stored on the Print Server. The queue also attaches printers to those jobs and sends the jobs through one at a time. If you set up queues for printing, users can continue to work while they are waiting for a document to print.
4 Click the New Queue button at the top left of the Print Server Activity window. The New Queue dialog box appears. 5 Type a name for the queue in the Queue Name text box. The name identifies the print queue in the Print Server Activity window and (if this will be an AppleTalk print queue) in the Chooser. The name can be up to 31 characters long and can contain any character except a colon (:), Option-X (»), or an equal sign (=).
6 Click the Attached Printers tab. A list of the printers in the chosen AppleTalk zone appears. 7 To attach a printer that’s located in a different AppleTalk zone, choose a different zone from the Zone pop-up menu. If your network does not have any zones, the pop-up menu is not available. 8 To attach a printer, select it, then click the Attach Printer button to the left of the printer list. The attached printer and its AppleTalk zone appear in the Attached Printers list.
When the printer is hidden, only the queue will appear in the Chooser; it looks like any other printer name. When the printer is not hidden, both the queue and the printer appear in the Chooser, and users can choose either one. Printing directly may be useful for applications that allow the feeding of individual sheets of paper, such as envelopes. 10 Click Save. The queue appears in the Print Server Activity window. When the status line indicates that it is operating normally, the queue is ready to use.
Upgrading Mac OS Clients You can make the AppleShare Client 3.8.1 Installer available to Macintosh computers on your network via the Web & File Server. Follow these steps: 1 Make sure your client computers have system software 7.6 or later and Open Transport 1.1.2 or later installed. ( You can find out the version of Open Transport by opening the TCP/IP control panel and choosing Get Info from the File menu.) If possible, install Mac OS 8.5 on all Mac OS client computers.
Mac OS Client Services After Mac OS clients have upgraded their software, they can use AppleShare IP services as follows. Using Web & File Services To use AppleShare file sharing services, users select the AppleShare icon in the Chooser, then connect to the Web & File Server and access shared files (or volumes). To use FTP services, client users need to enter an FTP address (for example, “ftp:// myserver.company.com”) in an that supports FTP. (The Web browsers that come with Mac OS 8.
Windows File Sharing Service Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT computers have built-in support for the Windows file sharing protocol, SMB, supported by AppleShare IP. Web and FTP Service Windows 3.0 and later, Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT users can connect to the Web & File Server via any standard Web browser or FTP application. Mail Service Windows 3.
LL0703A1 Page 69 Friday, October 9, 1998 12:55 PM A P P E N D I X Changing the Startup Disk The AppleShare IP servers use several files located in the System Folder of your startup disk. If you change your startup disk after you install any of the AppleShare IP server programs, you need to install AppleShare IP on the new startup disk and copy certain files and folders from the old startup disk to the new startup disk.
This step is not necessary if you are adding a new startup disk and you plan to use both hard disks. 8 If you are replacing your startup disk and if your computer is being used to share data, use the Web & File Admin program’s Duplicate Folder command to copy shared folders from the startup disk to the new hard disk. Do not use the Finder to copy the folders because the folders’ access privileges will not be retained.
16 If your computer is being used to run the Mail Server, start the Mail Server. Verify that the Mail Server is using the correct mail database by checking the Mail Server log. For information, see the Mail Server section of AppleShare IP Help. 17 If your computer is being used to run the Print Server, start the Print Server. Verify that the Print Server is working correctly by checking the Print Server log. For information, see the Print Server section of AppleShare IP Help.
