FireBall to Mac Networking Basics

Overview

With the new Network File Sharing feature built into FireBall, you can now access your FireBall from your Mac using your home network. Having access to your FireBall allows you to do things like backup your music files, import music files from your Mac to your FireBall, remotely control your FireBall from your Mac, and share your FireBall based music with iTunes and the Apple iPod. This document will explain how to do all of these things using your Mac and your FireBall over your home network.

Requirements

In order to connect to your FireBall, you will need to have your FireBall and Mac on the same network. This document assumes that you already have a home network correctly setup and configured. If you need help setting up your network, please review the “Home Network Primer” available on the Escient web site, or contact your Escient dealer.
