The ShareWay IP Gateway, from Open Door Networks Inc., 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 Gateway makes it possible to:
- Make AppleShare servers or Apple's personal file sharing on any Macintosh
accessible from anywhere on your intranet -- even from sections not running
AppleTalk -- or over the Internet.
- Make 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 Gateway 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 Personal and Standard Edition
of ShareWay IP. A separate User's Guide is available for the Professional Edition.
The choice of which edition to use for your specific situation is discussed in depth
at Open Door's Web site.
