Network requirements
Connect your Remote Access MultiPort Server to an AppleTalk network using
the same type of networking software and cable as used with other devices on
your network. Any AppleTalk network is capable of supporting a Remote
Access MultiPort Server. The most common network choices are LocalTalk,
Ethernet, and token ring.
IMPORTANT
This guide assumes that you are adding the Remote Access MultiPort
Server to an existing network. If not, consult the documentation that came with
the network materials you plan to use before continuing with this guide.
Client software requirements
Users can access the Remote Access MultiPort Server using any version of the
Remote Access Client software, but upgrading to the current version is
recommended. Remote Access Client version 2.1 is included on the MultiPort
Server installation CD-ROM disc, and one copy of the client user manual is
included in the MultiPort Server package. For information on volume
licensing, contact your Apple-authorized reseller or representative. Once you
have the correct licensing, users can upgrade over the network from the CD-
ROM disc, or the administrator can use Disk Copy to make an installation
floppy disk from the image file on the disc.
Using the Remote Access MultiPort Server
with other networking software
The MultiPort Server is compatible with many but not all additional
networking programs.
Apple Internet Router
The Apple Remote Access MultiPort Server and the Apple Internet Router
version 3.0.1 or later can run concurrently on the same computer. If you have
Apple Internet Router 3.0 installed, you need to upgrade to v. 3.0.1 before
installing the MultiPort Server.
