Configuring EtherTalk
Ethernet is a multiple protocol medium that allows you to run several network protocols
concurrently. An EtherTalk network allows you to run the AppleTalk protocol on a
physical base which can be three to five times faster than a LocalTalk network.
Typically, only Macintosh computers are installed on an EtherTalk network. If you
have PCs operating in an EtherTalk network, see the documentation that came with
your PC EtherTalk interface.
The following steps are required to set up your XANTÉ printer on an EtherTalk network.
Chapter 1 covers step 1; this section covers step 2.
1. Connect your XANTÉ printer to the network through the Ethernet port.
2. Change the EtherTalk Zone name, if necessary using the SETZONE.PS file and
Adobe Downloader or via your browser. See “Change the EtherTalk Zone
Name” later in this chapter for details.
Configure the Macintosh for EtherTalk
Configure your connection through the AppleTalk Control Panel under Apple menu:
Control Panels: AppleTalk on a Macintosh with OS 8.X or higher.
• Select Ethernet from the drop-down menu in the AppleTalk Control Panel under
Apple menu: Control Panels on a Macintosh with an operating system that supports
Open Transport (System 7.5 and later and some versions between 6.X and 7.5).
