Getting more information about the AppleTalk control panel
Macintosh Guide (or Mac OS Guide) contains information about additional
capabilities available in the AppleTalk control panel, such as
m using configurations, a way to save different AppleTalk settings and switch
among them as desired—for example, if you use your computer with more
than one network
m using the User Mode command to change the availability of settings in the
AppleTalk control panel
m turning AppleTalk off in order to save RAM in your computer when you
are not using an AppleTalk network
For more information about these capabilities, click the h button in the
AppleTalk control panel.
Configuring your TCP/IP network connection
You must properly set up the TCP/IP control panel if your computer is
connected to a network that uses TCP/IP standards, such as the Internet.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a set of rules that
are applied to data sent and received on the Internet. The rules standardize
how data is communicated so that many different kinds of computers can
recognize it. TCP/IP protocols can be used with many different types of
network equipment and connections. If you don’t know whether your network
uses TCP/IP, contact your network administrator.
To set up your TCP/IP network connection, you must specify the port you use
to connect your computer to the network. TCP/IP networks also require
information about your computer’s network address. You must enter that
information in the TCP/IP control panel, or specify a server on which the
information can be found. To get this information, check with your network
administrator or Internet service provider.
