Configuring Your Network Connection

Your Workgroup Server is preconfigured to connect to an AppleTalk
network through its built-in Ethernet interface. In addition, your server
automatically senses the type of connector (10BASE-T or AAUI) that
connects to the network. Because of the way your server is preconfigured,
most network administrators do not need to perform any additional
network configuration tasks.

You need to read this chapter if you want to

m

configure your server to use LocalTalk over one of the server’s serial
ports

m

configure AppleTalk to use a network interface other than the built-in
Ethernet network interface

m

configure your server to use the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP)

Otherwise, you can proceed to Chapter 3.
