3Attach a network cable between the LocalTalk adapter connected to your computer and the last LocalTalk adapter on your existing network.

Use the LocalTalk cable that comes with the Apple LocalTalk Locking Connector Kit DIN-8. Use a standard telephone cable with RJ-11 connectors if you are using the Apple LocalTalk RJ-11 Connector Kit.

4If you are using a LocalTalk adapter with RJ-11 (telephone) connectors, connect a terminator to the unused RJ-11 connector on the LocalTalk adapter.

For more information on terminators, see the instructions that came with the Apple LocalTalk RJ-11 Connector Kit.

Note: A LocalTalk adapter with DIN-8 connectors doesn’t require an external terminator.

Next, see “Configuring Your Network Connection” later in this chapter for information on configuring your LocalTalk connection.
