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.
The following items are required for connecting your Mac to your FireBall:

x Fireball E2 Music Manager or DVDM Media Manager with and internal hard drive and
File Sharing Support
