Apple 8600 appendix Setting up, TCP/IP control panel opens

“MacIP” stands for Macintosh Internet Protocol. MacIP is both a type of server and a protocol for sending Internet-type packets of information over an AppleTalk network. A MacIP server can provide all the TCP/IP setup information you need, but you need to know the zone where the MacIP server is located.

Setting up

To set up your TCP/IP network connection, follow these steps:

1Choose Control Panels from the Apple (K) menu.

The Control Panels window opens.

2Double-click the TCP/IP icon to open it.

The TCP/IP control panel opens.

3Use the “Connect via” pop-up menu to choose the port through which your computer is connected to the network.

Note: If you don’t see the pop-up menu here or other settings described in this section, they may have been locked. Contact your network administrator for assistance. (If you don’t have a network administrator, you can use the Administration user mode to unlock this setting. For more information about user modes, click the h button in the TCP/IP control panel.)
