4 Plug the adapter’s power cord into an electrical power outlet.
5 Plug the connector on the Apple Ethernet AUI Adapter into the AAUI Ethernet port on
your Macintosh.
Next, see “Configuring Your Network Connection” later in this chapter for
information on configuring your network connection.
Connecting to multiple networks simultaneously
Because your Macintosh has three networking ports—LocalTalk, AAUI
Ethernet, and 10Base-T Ethernet—it is possible to be physically connected to
more than one kind of network at the same time. However, you can use only
one of your connections at one time.
If both 10Base-T and AAUI networks are connected, your Macintosh
automatically uses the 10Base-T connection. You cannot use the AAUI
connection unless you physically disconnect the 10Base-T connection.
If you are connected to both a LocalTalk and an Ethernet network (either
10Base-T or AAUI), your computer uses the Ethernet connection unless you
specify LocalTalk in the AppleTalk control panel. “Configuring Your
AppleTalk Network Connection” in the section “Configuring Your Network
Connection” (next) explains how to specify the port you want to use.
