APPLESHARE SERVER 3.0 ADMINISTRATOR'S QUICKSTART

Before You Start

This QuickStart is designed to help you get AppleShare Server 3.0 file and print servers

ready and running in the shortest possible time. The QuickStart is divided into three

sections:

- Getting Started

- Setting Up File Service

- Setting Up Print Service

You may not need to read all three sections -- only those that apply to your specific

needs. For instance, if you know you will be setting up only a print server, you can skip

to the section "Setting Up Print Service" after reading "Getting Started."

Getting help

This QuickStart assumes you're already familiar with basic Macintosh concepts and

tech-niques. However, if you need additional information about AppleShare Server 3.0, you

have two other sources of information: Balloon Help, which is built into the AppleShare

Server 3.0 software, and the AppleShare Server 3.0 Administrator's Guide.

Using Balloon Help

If you don't understand the instructions in this guide -- or if you see a window, button,

menu, or command you want to know more about -- use Balloon Help:

1. Choose Show Balloons from the Help menu.

2. Position the pointer over the item you want to know more about.

A balloon appears with an explanation of that item. You can turn off Balloon Help at any

time by choosing Hide Balloons from the Help menu.

Using the AppleShare Server 3.0 Administrator's Guide

If you still need more information after consulting Balloon Help, see the AppleShare

Server 3.0 Administrator's Guide. It's easy to locate the information you need: Each

section of this QuickStart corresponds to a section of the AppleShare Server 3.0

Administrator's Guide, where all procedures are explained in detail.

Getting started

This section explains how to prepare your Macintosh computer to function as a file or

print server. The steps presented in this section are explained in detail in Chapter 2,

"Getting Started," in the AppleShare Server 3.0 Administrator's Guide.

The instructions in this QuickStart assume you have already performed these tasks:

- You have set up the computer.

- You have installed a network card and software, if your network requires it.

- You have connected the server to the network.

- You have activated AppleTalk in the Chooser window and selected the appropriate network

type in the Network control panel.

If you have not yet performed these tasks, see the documentation that came with either
