Macintosh Connectivity

How do I share files with Mac Users?

StorEdge does not support AppleTalk networking. Macintosh clients require an SMB
or NFS client in order to connect to the StorEdge.

Apple OS-X has built-in NFS client software. Third party NFS clients are also
available. Using an NFS client is the recommended solution.

We have done very limited testing with the DAVE client from Thursby. This software
enables browsing and file access from Mac clients via SMB.

What does the desktop DB option in the shares menu do?

The Desktop DB Calls option allows the StorEdge to access and set Macintosh
desktop database information. It speeds up Macintosh client file access and allows
non-Macintosh clients to access Macintosh files on the StorEdge.
