Enable Browsing With Network Service Location
You can register your Apple file server with Network Service Locator (NSL) to allow users to
find the server by browsing through available servers. Otherwise, users must type the
server’s host name or IP address.
To register with NSL:
1 In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.
2 Click Apple and choose Configure Apple File Service.
3 Click the General tab, select “Enable browsing with Network Service Location,” and
click Save.
This option also registers with Rendezvous.
If you turn on this option, you must also enable and configure Service Location Protocol
(SLP) service on your network router. See Chapter 16, “SLP DA Service,” for more
information about SLP.
Enabling AppleTalk Browsing for Apple File Service
If you enable browsing with AppleTalk, Mac OS 8 and 9 users can see your servers and other
network resources using the Chooser.
To enable browsing via AppleTalk:
1 In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.
2 Click Apple and choose Configure Apple File Service.
3 Click the General tab and select “Enable browsing with AppleTalk.”
4 Click Save.
Setting Maximum Connections for Apple File Service
If your server provides a number of services, you can improve server performance by limiting
the number of clients and guests who can be connected at the same time.
To set the maximum number of connections:
1 In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.
2 Click Apple and choose Configure Apple File Service.
3 Click the Access tab.
4 Under “Maximum client connections (including Guests),” click the radio button next to the
number field and type the maximum number of connections you want to allow.
5 Under “Maximum Guest connections,” click the radio button next to the number field and
type the maximum number of guests you want to allow.
Important
AppleTalk must be enabled both on the user’s computer and on the server.
