Configuring a
Macintosh as a Client
Configuring a Macintosh client
Unlike client computers running Microsoft
®
Windows
®
operating systems, Macintosh
client computers already have the network adapter installed. To connect your Macintosh
client to the Magnia SG20 is a simple task of setting some network configurations.
Network settings
To configure your Macintosh:
1
From the Apple menu, select Control Panels, then select AppleTalk.
2
When the AppleTalk dialog box appears, ensure that Connect via: is set to Ethernet
built-in.
3
Close the AppleTalk dialog box.
4
From the Apple menu, select Control Panels, then TCP/IP.
5
When the TCP/IP dialog box appears, ensure that Connect via: is set to Ethernet
built-in.
6
Set Configure to Using DHCP Server.
7
Close the TCP/IP dialog box.
8
From the Finder application in the Special menu, select Restart to restart the
computer.
Internet Browser
Because of implementation problems with Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer for the
Macintosh, Toshiba recommends that you use Netscape Communicator as the Internet
browser for Macintosh clients connected to the Magnia SG20.
