What does Open Transport install?

Open Transport includes the AppleTalk and TCP/IP control panels. These
replace the Network and MacTCP control panels used in previous versions
of the Mac OS. Even though all the networking control panels may be
installed on your computer, only the appropriate control panels for your
computer will appear in the Control Panels folder.

Open Transport also installs the Network Software Selector utility in the
Apple Extras folder.

AppleTalk control panel

You use the AppleTalk control panel to set up your connection to an
AppleTalk network (that is, a network using the AppleTalk protocol).

To set up your AppleTalk network connection, you must specify the port you
use to connect your computer to the network. If your network has more than
one zone, you can choose the zone in which your computer is located. The
zone you choose is the zone that is automatically selected in the Chooser (for
example, when you select a network printer) and it is the zone in which other
network users can find your computer if you turn on file sharing.

To set up your network connection, follow these steps:

1

Choose Control Panels from the Apple (

K

) menu.

The Control Panels window opens.

2

Double-click the AppleTalk icon to open it.

The AppleTalk control panel opens.
