Troubleshooting

Following are guidelines for handling common problems. If these suggestions don’t help you fix the problem, contact your network administrator.

IMPORTANT The first step in troubleshooting any problem with your network connection is to check each of the following items.

mThe computer’s power is on.

mThe card is installed correctly.

mThe Ethernet cable’s connector is securely fastened to your card.

mThe network cable is in good condition and locked to the connector.

mIf your card is configured for a thin coax cable and your computer is on either end of the network, be sure that a terminator is locked to the T-connector.

mYour Ethernet network is working properly—no one else is having problems with the network.

If the AppleTalk or TCP/IP control panel icon is missing:

The AppleTalk or TCP/IP control panel may have been moved from the Control Panels folder. Look for it on your hard disk, drag it to the Control Panels folder, and restart your Macintosh.

Also check to see whether your software is set to use Open Transport networking. See the instructions in “Setting the Network Software Selector.”

Your Ethernet software may not have been installed properly. If you can’t find the AppleTalk or TCP/IP control panel, you’ll need to reinstall the network software according to the instructions in this guide.

If Ethernet doesn’t appear in the AppleTalk or TCP/IP control panel:

Make sure that you have installed your Apple Ethernet CS II card in your communications slot II. Also, there may have been a problem with the network software installation. Reinstall your network software according to the instructions in this guide.

CS II specifications

The Apple II, introduced in 1977, is often celebrated as one of the pioneering personal computers that helped lay the groundwork for the home computer revolution. Its design and functionality made it immensely popular among hobbyists, educators, and businesses alike.

One of the standout features of the Apple II was its open architecture. This allowed users to easily expand the system's capabilities by adding various peripherals and expansion cards. The versatility of the Apple II was evident in its ability to support a range of hardware, including printers, modems, and additional memory, making it a modular system that could grow with the owner's needs.

The Apple II was powered by a MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor, which operated at 1 MHz, providing sufficient performance for the tasks of its era. It came with 4 KB of RAM, which could be expanded to 48 KB or more, depending on the model and user needs. The machine featured a keyboard, a built-in speaker, and a color graphics capability that allowed it to display graphics in a variety of resolutions. The introduction of color graphics was a significant advancement at the time, enabling a more engaging user experience and leading to the creation of numerous educational and entertainment software titles.

The Apple II's floppy disk drive, known as the Disk II, was another revolutionary feature that significantly improved storage capabilities compared to earlier systems that relied solely on cassette tapes. The Disk II made data retrieval and storage much faster and more reliable, which in turn facilitated the growing software library available for the platform.

In addition to its hardware features, the Apple II was accompanied by a suite of software that included Apple BASIC, a programming language that made it accessible for users to create their own applications. The impact of the Apple II extended beyond hardware and software; it became the first personal computer to gain substantial traction in educational settings, with many schools adopting it as a teaching tool in computer literacy programs.

Moreover, the Apple II played a pivotal role in the emergence of third-party software development, leading to an expansive ecosystem of games, productivity applications, and educational programs—a trend that set the stage for the software development industry as we know it today.

In summary, the Apple II's open architecture, powerful processor, innovative storage solutions, and robust software ecosystem combined to establish it as a foundational pillar in the personal computer market. Its influence can still be seen in modern computing, making it a landmark achievement in the history of technology.
