Connecting to the Ethernet Port
An external transceiver is required to connect your controller to the
network. The transceiver must have a medium attachment unit
interface (MAUI) to connect to the controller and a female connector
for the type of cabling used on your network. The following sections
describe the methods for connecting your printer to a network, using
two common types of network cabling; unshielded twisted pair (UTP
or 10BaseT), and thin coaxial cable (thinnet or 10Base2). Examples
of transceivers for both types of cabling are illustrated in figure 2.19.

Note: In an EtherTalk network, your printer uses the AppleTalk
Phase 2 driver. Select the Phase 2 driver on a Macintosh
using the Network Control Panel or the AppleTalk Control
Panel (System 7.5 and up).
