Share Way IP 3 Standard UG

ShareWay IP Standard Edition User's Guide Introduction Open Door Networks' ShareWay IP product line brings TCP/IP accessibility to any AppleShare- compatible (AFP) server. With ShareWay IP, regardless of whether you're running Apple's personal file sharing, AppleShare, or an AFP server on a non-Macintosh OS, you can make that server available over your organization's intranet, or over the Internet itself. By enabling TCP/IP access to AFP servers, ShareWay IP makes it possible to: Make personal file sharing on any Macintosh accessible from anywhere on your intranet -- even from sections not running AppleTalk -- or over the Internet. Make older AppleShare servers or non-Macintosh AFP services, such as those on Windows NT, Novell Netware or Unix accessible from anywhere on your intranet, or over the Internet. Begin to turn off the AppleTalk protocol on your intranet without losing the benefits of traditional AppleTalk services. ShareWay IP is available in three editions: ShareWay IP Personal Edition is for use with the Mac OS's built-in personal file sharing. ShareWay IP Standard Edition can target any single AFP (AppleTalk Filing Protocol) server. ShareWay IP Professional Edition can target multiple servers from a single Macintosh, providing efficient resource utilization and allowing centralized administration of IP access to AFP servers. This User's Guide provides details of the Standard Edition of ShareWay IP. Separate User's Guides are available for the Personal Edition and Professional Edition. The choice of which edition to use for your specific situation is discussed in depth at Open Door's Web site. What's New in ShareWay IP 3.0 Security enhancements - Connection attempts to ShareWay IP can be allowed or denied for specific users and for guests.

Connected user information - ShareWay IP displays a list of IP-connected users, including user name and user IP address. For IP connections, this list is often more informative than the targeted AFP server's display, which usually shows both AppleTalk and IP connections without distinguishing between them. Configurable TCP port number - The TCP port number used by ShareWay IP can be changed as desired. Online Help - Integrated Apple Help makes online help available through the Help Center (OS 8.5 and later) and through ShareWay's Help menu (OS 8.6 and later).
