Ethernet connection

Ethernet is a communication standard that supports very high speed data transmission. Ethernet offers signiÞcant speed improvement compared to serial, parallel, and LocalTalk connections. Speed improvement varies greatly depending on network trafÞc, computer hardware, and other factors.

The printer's Ethernet port conforms to the IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet II standards, but it uses the smaller AAUI connector (developed by Apple Computer, Inc.) instead of the 15-pin AUI connector described in these standards. Ethernet AAUI adapters, available from Tektronix and other sources, connect the printer to the network cable or a conventional AUI cable.

If you are connecting both EtherTalk and LocalTalk

If you have both LocalTalk and Ethernet cables as part of the same Apple internet (EtherTalk), it is recommended that you connect only the Ethernet cable. There is no beneÞt to making both LocalTalk and Ethernet connections to the printer if both cables are part of the same Apple internet. For information on printer behavior in this conÞguration, see ÒPrinter name and AppleTalk zonesÓ on page 3-6.

Ethernet adapters

Note Make sure that the printer is turned off before making any

Ethernet connections.

Your printerÕs Ethernet connector allows you to connect to one of three standard Ethernet cable types by using an Ethernet adapter. The Ethernet adapters shown on the next page are available through Tektronix or your dealer. Contact your dealer for Ethernet cables.
