Connector

printing from computers on the LocalTalk to printers
attached to the parallel or serial port of the XConnect II; it
cannot be used to allow computers on the Ethernet to print to
printers connected to the LocalTalk network.

The LocalTalk port is enabled by default.  If you are not
using this port, you should enter the command 

SET

LOCALTALK DISABLED

 for maximum performance.

Step 5  Verifying Successful Installation

You are now ready to apply power to the TROY XCD print
server.  Plug the AC power adapter into a wall outlet and
insert the adapter cable into the print server connector
labelled "Power".  If possible, connect a terminal to the serial
port (make sure that Switch 4 is OFF when using the console
terminal with the XConnect II or XConnect II Lite).
