You cannot use the ARA MultiPort Server software concurrently with System 7 Macintosh file sharing. When you start the Remote Access Manager program, you will be asked to convert the Users & Groups Data File. After it is converted, only Remote Access Manager and AppleShare 3.0.x, or AppleShare 4.0.1 or later can use the Users & Groups Data File.
If you have either an ARA 1.0, or 2.0.x Personal Server, and you have entered several user names through the User & Groups control panel; you can import these user names to the new MultiPort server by following the steps below:
Step 1
------
Throw the Users & Groups Data File found in the Preferences folder of the new MultiPort Server in the Trash.
Step 2
------
Place the Users & Groups Data File from the older ARA 1.0 or 2.0.x Personal Server into the Preferences folder of the MultiPort server
Step 3
------
Restart the MultiPort Server.
Step 4
------
Launch the Remote Access Manager software.
Step 5
------
When asked, convert the U&G DF file.
Step 6

The user names and passwords are imported.
