Apple Remote Access MultiPort Server - Manual (Page 8)

Preparing the server computer
Set up the server computer exactly as you would any other computer running
the Mac OS, giving extra consideration to the server’s physical security. If you
have any concerns about physical security, you should consider putting the
server computer in a separate room with controlled access. Physical security is
your first line of defense for server security. For information about other types
of security, refer to Chapter 3.
The following instructions assume that you have chosen to use a new computer
for the server.
Note: You can set up the server on a computer that you are currently using for
other network services. If you plan to use a computer that is already in use,
some of the steps will not apply to you.
To prepare the server computer:
1 Set up the server computer.
Follow the unpacking and setup instructions that came with the computer.
2 If necessary, install a network communications card.
You may need to do this if you plan to connect your computer to a token ring or
Ethernet network. Follow the directions in the user’s guide supplied with the card.
3 Connect the server computer to your AppleTalk network.
Follow the directions in the user’s guide for your cable system.
4 Make sure that the AppleTalk option is active.
The AppleTalk Active option should be selected. If it isn’t, open the Chooser and
click the AppleTalk Active button in the lower-right corner of the Chooser window.
