Installation & Setup

AppleShare IP 6.1 ships with Mac OS 8.5. Detailed steps on how to install both the System Software and ASIP can be found in the "Getting Started with Mac OS 8.5 Server" manual that shipped with the software. For seasoned administrators and technical support engineers, here's a brief reminder of what is involved, and how it differs from ASIP 6.0:

  • Install Mac OS 8.5, if needed/desired. ASIP 6.1 will work with Mac OS version 8.1, except for TCP Filtering which requires Open Transport 2.0, a part of Mac OS 8.5. If you have any doubts about the integrity of the existing operating system or compatibility of some of the third-party extensions it contains, then a clean install would be advisable. But if you are updating an earlier version of AppleShare or Appleshare IP, certain steps need to be taken to preserve privileges on the server when doing a clean install. See the Related Topic on access privileges , or Apple's Tech Info Library for steps on doing a clean install on an Appleshare Server, or the Appleshare IP First Aid information, which tells you how to back up and restore essential Appleshare IP files.

  • Configure control panels if needed:

    • Date & Time: Remember to set the time zone, also.

    • Energy Saver: Use Server Settings to prevent the server from sleeping. You can also set it to restart after a power outage.

    • AppleTalk: Select appropriate interface for AppleTalk communications.

    • TCP/IP: Configure the TCP/IP control panel with a static IP address, subnet mask, router address, DNS servers.

  • Install ASIP 6.1:

    • The ASIP 6.1 installer will detect if Open Doc (needed for the Administrator applications) is needed, and install it, if so.

  • Run ASIP Easy Setup, following the prompts (have your serial number handy).
