Mac OS X Server 10.

5 (Leopard Server)

The OS X Leopard Server running Server Admin.

Released: October 26, 2007

Features

Simplified Setup. The redesigned Server Assistant steps you through configuration of key server applications, networking settings, and user accounts. Once setup is complete, the new Server Preferences application allows you to manage key services. A new Server Status Dashboard widget provides at-a-glance information on the status of services, as well as on disk space and CPU use. Podcast Producer. An end-to-end solution for producing professional-quality podcasts is ideal for product training, sales presentations, university lectures, or employee updates. With the Podcast Capture application in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, users can capture audio and video, record onscreen actions, or submit existing QuickTime content to the server. Once the content is uploaded, Podcast Producer in Leopard Server automatically publishes it in formats optimized for playback on almost any device, from HD video to iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV. Wiki Server. With Leopard Server users can create collaborative web pages, called wikis, complete with group calendar, blog, and mailing list archive. With the wiki server members can create blog entries, tag and cross-reference material, upload files and images, add comments, and perform keyword searches. Wiki server maintains the complete history, so you can always revert to a previous version of any page. iCal Server. Leopard Server includes a calendaring platform that makes it easy for individuals and groups to share calendars, coordinate events, schedule meetings and reserve resources. iCal Server was the first commercial calendar server to support the open CalDAV standard. Spotlight Server. Designed for workgroups with shared documents, projects, and file archives. It works with Mac OS X Leopard clients to search content stored on shared volumes across the entire network. Spotlight Server works with the Quick Look and Cover Flow features in Leopard to scan though fileswithout needing to open them.

Infrastructure enhancements. With the release of Leopard Server, Mac OS X Server is now an Open Brand UNIX 03 Registered Product conforming to the SUSv3 and POSIX 1003.1 specifications for the C API, Shell Utilities, and Threads. Mac OS X Server can compile and run all existing UNIX 03-compliant code. Many services in Leopard Serverincluding Apache 2, MySQL 5, Postfix, Podcast Producer, and QuickTime Streaming Serverare 64-bit, able to take maximum advantage of the processing power and addressable memory of 64-bit system hardware. Leopard Server is also 32-bit compatible, 32-bit and 64-bit applications can run side by side, both at native performance. RADIUS Server. Leopard Server includes FreeRADIUS for network authentication. It ships with support for wireless access stations however can be modified into a fully functioning FreeRADIUS server.[3] PHP, MySQL, Apache, and BIND versions: 10.5 PHP MySQL Apache BIND 5.2.4 5.0.45 2.2.6 9.4.1P1 10.5.1 10.5.2 10.5.3 10.5.4 10.5.5 10.5.6 10.5.7 10.5.8 5.2.4 5.0.45 2.2.6 9.4.1P1 5.2.4 5.0.45 2.2.6 9.4.1P1 5.2.5 5.0.45 2.2.8 9.4.1P1 5.2.5 5.0.45 2.2.8 9.4.2P1 5.2.6 5.0.45 2.2.8 9.4.2P2 5.2.6 5.0.67 2.2.9 9.4.2P2 5.2.8 5.0.67 2.2.11 9.4.3P1 5.2.11 5.0.82 2.2.13 9.4.2P3

Color Codes for RJ-45 Ethernet Plug - EIA/TIA 568A/568B and AT&T 258A Eight-conductor data cable (Cat 3 or Cat 5) contains 4 pairs of wires. Each pair consists of a solid color wire and a white and color striped wire. Each of the pairs are twisted together. To maintain reliability on Ethernet, you should not untwist them any more than necessary (about 1/4 inch). The pairs designated for 10BaseT Ethernet are Orange and Green. The other two pairs, Brown and Blue, are unused. The connections shown are specifically for an RJ45 plug. The wall jack may be wired in a different sequence because the wires may be crossed inside the jack. The jack should either come with a wiring diagram or at least designate pin numbers that you can match up to the color code below.

There are two wiring standards for these cables, called T-568A and T-568B. They differ only in pin assignments, not in uses of the various colors. The illustration above shows both standards. With the T-568B specification the Orange and Green pairs are located on pins 1, 2 and 3, 6 respectively. The T-568A specification reverses the Orange and Green connections, so that the Blue and Orange pairs are on the center 4 pins, which makes it more compatible with the telco voice connections. T-568A is supposed to be the standard for new installations, and T-568B is the alternative. However, most off-the-shelf data equipment and cables seem to be wired to T568B.

EIA/TIA 568A/568B and AT&T 258A define the wiring standards and allow for two different wiring color codes.

Straight-Through vs Cross-Over In general, the patch cords that you use with your Ethernet connections are "straightthrough", which means that pin 1 of the plug on one end is connected to pin 1 of the plug on the other end (for either standard). The only time you cross connections in 10BaseT is when you connect two Ethernet devices directly together without a hub or connect two hubs together. Then you need a "cross-over" patch cable, which crosses the transmit and receive pairs. An easy way remember how to make a crossover cable is to wire one end with the T-568A standard and the other with the T-568B standard.

Please Note: The standard connector view shown is color-coded for a straight thru cable assembly, when connecting Hub to Xcvr or DNI Card. When connecting hub to hub,

Xcvr to Xcvr, or DNI to DNI, the wires must crossover at the opposite end of the cable assembly. Interconnecting Your Hubs, Transceivers, and DNI Cards As noted in the illustrations below, a crossover cable is required when connecting a Hub to a Hub, or a Transceiver to Transceiver, or DNI to DNI card, or Transceiver to DNI card. When connecting a Hub to a transceiver or DNI card, a straight through cable is always used. Hub to Hub Connectivity

Termination UTP cables are terminated with standard connectors, jacks and punch downs. The jack/plug is often referred to as a "RJ-45", but that's a telco designation for the "modular 8 pin connector" terminated with a USOC pin out used for telephones. The male connector on the end of a patch cord is called a "plug" and the receptacle on the wall outlet is a "jack."

In LANs, as specified by 568, there are two possible pin outs, called T568A and T568B, that differ only in which color coded pairs are connected - pair 2 and 3 are reversed. Either works equally well, as long as you don't mix them! If you always use only one version, you're OK, but if you mix A and B in a cable run, you will get crossed pairs! The Cable Pairs are Color Coded as follows:

Pair 1 White with Blue-Stripe/Blue Pair 2 White with Orange-Stripe/Orange Pair 3 White with Green-Stripe/Green Pair 4 White with Brown-Stripe/Brown
