Appendix 4
Mac Access to NAS Server
This system software supports the two access protocols AppleTalk and TCP/IP. The system
administrator only has to configure the desired protocol in NAS-5000 Series Manager,
“
Network
Setup
” à ”
Apple network
”
.
Suppose you are running a NAS server called
“
NAS5400
”
. To allow access from a Mac client via
AppleTalk, select
“
AppleShare
”
and select
“
NAS5400
”
in the
“
Select File Server
”
option. When
logging in, provide the name and password of the client account, or log in as
“
guest
”
. All the data
for which access privileges exist will be visible. Users who are part of the users group will find
their own home folders. Select the desired data: once its icon appears on the desktop, a proper
connecting has been established.
If the Mac client supports TCP/IP, you may also choose TCP/IP as an access protocol. Under
“
Server IP Address
”
, enter the IP address of NAS5400, then log in with your name and password,
or as
“
guest
”
.
If a Zone exists on the LAN, the server will automatically login the zone of the client.
Note:
1. Mac clients are not able to save single files larger than 2GB onto the NAS server.
2. When there is more than one network card in the NAS server and the server is set up as having
multiple subnets, this system only supports Mac client in one single subnet to read/write from
the server through AppleTalk or TCP/IP protocol. Mac clients in other subnet(s) can only
read/write through TCP/IP protocol. Due to this limitation, this system can only support the Zone
in a single subnet
