Ethernet : Introduction

This chapter shows you how to attach your GCC printer to an Ethernet network. It also
shows how to set up your printer for network communications using EtherTalk.

EtherTalk is Apple’s name for the AppleTalk network protocol running over Ethernet
cabling. You can use the same cards and network connections to print over a Windows
network, using TCP/IP. See the section on Networking with Windows on this CD-ROM.

Ethernet network connection

The Ethernet cabling system provides faster and more reliable communications than
LocalTalk. The printer’s Ethernet interface has connectors for two types of Ethernet cables:
10BASE-T and 10BASE-2. The following sections provide information about the different
methods for connecting the printer to your Ethernet network.

10BASE-T (Unshielded Twisted-Pair or UTP) network connection

You connect your printer to 10BASE-T Ethernet using the 10BASE-T (RJ-45) connector on
the rear of the printer. The cabling used is Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP).

When you use 10BASE-T, you have to connect each printer and computer to a central
device called a hub. Printers, computers, and any other devices connected to the hub are
called nodes. The main advantage of this kind of network (often called a star network) are
that you can remove a node and the network continues to function. The main disadvantage
is the cost of the hub. You can connect hubs together to extend the network.

10BASE-2 (RG-58, Thin Coax, or Thinnet) network connection

You connect your printer to 10BASE-2 Ethernet via the 10BASE-2 (BNC) connector on the
network card. The cabling used is called RG-58 or Thin Coax.
