Connecting Your Computer to a Network

3

Attach a network cable between the LocalTalk adapter connected to your computer and a

LocalTalk adapter on your existing network.

IMPORTANT

While connecting to the middle of the network you may interrupt

other users. Check with your network administrator before you connect.

If you connect to the last computer in the network, you need to attach a
network terminator to your LocalTalk adapter.

If you are using the Apple LocalTalk Locking Connector Kit DIN-8, use the
LocalTalk cable that comes with the kit to connect to a network with
LocalTalk cables. If you are using the Apple LocalTalk RJ-11 Connector, use a
standard telephone cable with RJ-11 connectors.

4

Configure your LocalTalk connection following the advice of your network administrator

and the instructions in “Configuring Your Network Connection” later in this chapter.
