Ways to use the Magnia SG30
The Toshiba Magnia SG30 Appliance Server provides the
following networking features:
❖ File sharing: You can store files on the server’s hard disk
drives instead of on your local computer. These files are
available to any other computer connected to the
network. Files stored in your personal directory are
accessible to your client computer only when you are
logged on with your user account. Files can also be
stored in a public directory that is accessible to all users.
❖ Print sharing: The same printer can serve all computers
connected to the network.
❖ Internet gateway: All network computers can access the
Internet through the Magnia SG30. You can surf the
World Wide Web, send and receive email, and use other
Internet services.
❖ Wireless networking: The optional internal wireless
access point in the Magnia SG30 establishes a fast,
secure wireless network for all your clients. Mobile
systems such as notebook computers can be used
anywhere, and even desktop computers become easier to
manage and move because a wired networking
infrastructure is no longer required.
❖ Intranet service: You can customize the content of your
preinstalled intranet Web pages, which are stored in the
Magnia SG30. The pages include: Welcome page (a good
place for your mission statement), Company News (your
own electronic newsletter), Upcoming Events (an
electronic bulletin board), Docs and Forms (special
procedures), and Company Links (your favorite Web
links).
