Things to Remember
●
Before going to the next section, please make a note of the following:
●
You must have a Macintosh computer with Mac OS 8.1 or better, 32MB of RAM, an installed Asanté Ethernet
card and the capability to connect to the Internet. This computer with FriendlyShare enables a single
Internet connection to service the entire network.
●
You should also disable the sleep mode on the server. This can be found in the Energy Saver setting of the
Control Panel. You will see a setting that says, “Put the system to sleep after it has been idle for”. Change the
setting by moving the sliding bar to “Never”. Also, while still in Energy Saver, you will want to change the
settings under Preferences/Server Settings. Click both the “Restart automatically after a power failure” and
the “Never put the hard drive to sleep” buttons. Having the server computer in sleep mode will prevent any
clients from accessing the Internet.
●
You must have an active Internet account.
●
For a network to function, there must be two or more computers connected to the network and these
systems must be turned on. If one computer is turned on and the other unit(s) are not, there will be no
communication between them.
●
Each computer in the network requires an Ethernet card. This card must be configured and the device
driver installed before it will operate.
●
Follow the installation guidelines in this manual carefully. Each step of the process and the order in which it
is presented has been carefully chosen to help you perform a smooth, trouble-free installation.
