Connecting to a network

Your computer has built-in AppleTalk networking software. This software directly supports the LocalTalk cables you need to connect your computer to the network. (If your computer has the appropriate port or expansion card, AppleTalk also supports Ethernet and TokenRing cables.)

1.Choose Shut Down from the Special menu.

2.Connect the LocalTalk cable to the printer port ([) on the back of your computer.

If your computer has a combined printer/modem port, connect the LocalTalk cable to that port.

See your network administrator or the documentation that came with your cables if you need more information.
