Chapter 2: Installing the Splash Software Page 29

Setting Up the Splash Server for

Client File Sharing

Note: You must provide networking hardware and software for all client

workstations that will print to the Splash Server. Refer to the instructions provided

with your network products for instructions on how to connect the Splash Server

and client workstations to the network.

You can conﬁgure the Splash Server CPU to let client workstations install their own

Splash client software over the network. This way, the network administrator does

not have to install client software at each client computer. (PC clients that are

unable to connect to Apple File Sharing, such as Novell NetWare clients, must

install the Splash client software with the install disks provided with your Splash

Server.) To set up the Splash Server for network installs:

1. At the Splash Server, create a new folder on the Macintosh desktop for the

Splash software. Give the folder the name “Splash Network Install.”

2. Insert the Splash CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive on the Server.

3. Locate the Splash System Software folder on the Splash CD-ROM.

4. Drag the contents of the Splash System Software folder to the folder you

created on the Splash Server.

5. Turn File Sharing on with the Sharing Setup Control Panel. (See the Macintosh

User’s Guide included with your computer.)

6. Select the Splash Network Install folder icon and choose Sharing from the File

menu. The Sharing window for the folder appears.

7. Conﬁgure the Sharing options so that any Guest can access the folder:

■ To share the folder, check the “Share this item and its contents” box.

■ To share the contents of the folder, check the “Make all currently enclosed

folders like this one” box.

■ To prevent users from changing or deleting the shared items over the

network, check the “Can’t be moved, renamed, or deleted” box.

■ Conﬁgure the FileShare privileges. Guests should be able to see the

folders and ﬁles, but they should not be able to make changes.

For more information about using FileShare, see the Macintosh User’s Guide

included with your computer.
