Connecting a Newton PDA over an AppleTalk network
Follow the instructions below to connect your Newton PDA to an AppleTalk
network.
If your computer is connected to an AppleTalk network, you can connect the
Newton PDA to the network, too. To connect the device, you must have a
LocalTalk or other type of AppleTalk connection kit, available from an
Apple-authorized dealer.
Be sure to purchase the same type of LocalTalk connector box and cable that
your network uses. Some LocalTalk connector boxes require RJ-11 cables, like
those used to connect telephones to wall jacks. Other AppleTalk networks use
LocalTalk connector boxes that require cables with DIN-8 connectors.
To connect your Newton PDA to an AppleTalk network:
1 Turn off your computer and Newton PDA.
2 Follow the instructions that came with your connection kit to connect the LocalTalk
cable to the computer.
3 Plug the AppleTalk cable into the communication port of your Newton PDA.
4 Turn on your computer and choose the Chooser from the Apple (
K
) menu.
