Apple IP (AppleShare IP) Gateway - Manual (Page 6)

On-screen help
The Apple IP Gateway includes Balloon Help, featuring balloons that provide
descriptions of items on the Macintosh screen. To access Balloon Help, choose
Show Balloons from the Help (?) menu. When you point to items on the
screen, balloons appear explaining each item. To turn off Balloon Help, choose
Hide Balloons from the Help menu.
What you need to know
This guide assumes that you are familiar with basic Macintosh operations. If
you need more information, refer to the documentation that came with your
computer. In addition, the Apple IP Gateway works in coordination with
MacTCP, and, optionally, with the Apple Internet Router and the Apple
Remote Access Personal or MultiPort Servers. Although much of the
information that you’ll need is repeated here, you’ll find it helpful to have a
thorough understanding of these products. To get that understanding, refer to
the documentation supplied with each application program. Finally, a
Macintosh SNMP agent is installed with the Apple IP software; to utilize this
agent, you will need to install MacSNMP software, which is supplied with
either the AppleTalk Administration for Macintosh or the TCP/IP
Administration for Macintosh products. The MacSNMP Administrator’s
Guide, included with both Administration products, provides a basic
introduction to network management with SNMP as well as detailed
instructions for configuring the agent software.
For more information
The Apple IP Gateway provides access to services on IP networks, including
the Internet. An introduction to Internet services is beyond the scope of this
guide. There are, however, numerous books available if you want to learn
more. Any of the following would provide a good introduction. There are
literally hundreds of others, with more coming out each week.
