What is sharing and mapping?
The concept of sharing and mapping is actually a two-fold process that
allows two or more PCs to locate and use each other’s drives and printers as
if they were on one single PC. The two processes work together. The
AnyPoint Sharing and Mapping software allows you to first decide which
drives and printers on each PC are to be shared with the network. Then, the
software allows you to map to each shared drive and printer from each PC.
The sharing process lets you control the degree of access by setting the
share status for each of your drives and printers. For drives, you would
select either
Shared-Full, Shared-Read Only or Not Shared. For printers,
you would select either
Shared or Not Shared. Refer to "Share drives and
printers" on page 15 for a description of each type of share status. The
mapping process sets up a drive letter on your PC that points to each shared
drive on the other PC. You can even assign your own letters to a drive (if
they are not already used by the system).
