2. Type: SYST in reply to the prompt: User name : and I in reply to the prompt: Password : (This logs you on to FileStore in maintenance mode. SYST is the FileStore maintenance id.) 3. Estimate the maximum number of users you expect to have logged on at a time. (If you are not sure, simply count the number of Communicators connected to Econet.) Add about a quarter to this figure to produce a whole number. For example, if you expect a maximum of 17 users, a quarter of 17 is 4.25, so n=21 or 22. 4. Select BASIC, or the command screen from an application, then type: *MAXUSERS n I I where n is the number you have just calculated. 5. Turn FileStore off. If you have a hard If you have a hard disc unit and do not want to use the floppy disc drives for disc user directories: 1. Turn FileStore on with its access flap open. On your Communicator, press I STOP I to select the main menu and then press LOGON. 2.

Turn FileStore off. Getting ready for To use FileStore, a Communicator must be connected to it via Econet. If this users has not already been done, it should be a simple matter of plugging the Econet connecting leads supplied into the socket marked ECONET on the back of the Communicator and into a convenient Econet socket box. As supplied, FileStore will only allow users to log on as BOOT, which provides them with rather limited facilities. To allow users full access to FileStore's facilities, you must tell FileStore about them, by 'creating' users as follows. If an error message is displayed or you do not get the results indicated, make sure that you have followed the instructions carefully and have typed accurately. If the cause of the problem is not obvious, refer to Appendix 2 for further instructions. Make a list of all the people who you want to give separate spaces to, on FileStore. Write a different short name (user id) against each (this may be up to ten characters long). This is the 'user id' that they will use to log on. Usually, this is the person's first name or initials, or the name of a department. Note that capital and small letters are equivalent, so that fred and FRED are NOT different ids. If you are using floppy discs (ie not a hard disc unit), divide 300 by the number of users. This gives you the approximate number of pages of text each user will be able to create, if you use a single data disc. If you think this is enough space, or are using a hard disc, proceed as follows: 1. If you are not using a hard disc, insert the Library disc that you created earlier in the lefthand drive. Insert one of the data discs that you created in the righthand drive, noting its title. If you are using a hard disc you do not need to insert any discs. 2. Close the access flap.
