Connecting to a LocalTalk network

To connect your server to a LocalTalk network, you will need LocalTalk
cables and a LocalTalk adapter. The Apple LocalTalk Locking Connector Kit
DIN-8, available from your Apple-authorized dealer, contains the
components you need to connect the server to an existing LocalTalk network
by means of the printer port.

To connect the server to a LocalTalk network:

1

Make sure that the server is turned off.

2

Attach the LocalTalk adapter to the printer port.

3

Plug one end of a LocalTalk cable into the LocalTalk adapter.

4

Plug the other end of the cable into the last LocalTalk adapter on the network.
