Automating Resource Sharing for the PC User Several things can be done to better automate the Resource Sharing product for the PC user. Below is a discussion of some of these items. Details of the implementation of these suggestions are in the Using Vectra manual and your PC network software manuals. The key to implementing the network and Resource Sharing capabilities is to plan well before installing and setting up the PCs. Once fully set up, the PCs can be automated for the users so that very little work needs to be performed by the user to use shared resources. Because the users are using common interfaces, automating the functions will simplify system troubleshooting. The initial work of connecting to the network, activating the printer setup, and logging on to the network in Virtual Terminal mode can all be automated so that it occurs each time the user turns on the PC. The PC can be automated so that all connection and setup operations for shared disc and printers are done each time the PC is powered on or restarted. Adding Batch Files for the DOS environment Batch files enable users to dynamically (temporarily) use shared resources. Batch files allow faster and easier dynamic uses. Users can type the batch file name to dynamically use a resource. Since the System Manager creates these files, other users do not have to know how to create batch files or know what they do. Refer to DOS manuals for information on how to create batch files. Window Environment If you are using a window environment then you can either connect via the batch files (see DOS Environment above), or dynamically connect using file manager (for Disc Shares) and Print Manager (for print shares). For a NewWave environment, see the Window Environment.
