Connecting Your Computer to a Network
Connecting to a LocalTalk network
To connect your Macintosh to a LocalTalk network, you will need LocalTalk
cables and a LocalTalk adapter. In most cases, the Apple LocalTalk Locking
Connector Kit DIN-8, available from your Apple-authorized dealer, contains
the components you need to connect your Macintosh to an existing LocalTalk
network. If your network uses standard telephone cables for your network
wiring, obtain an Apple LocalTalk RJ-11 Connector instead.
Note: At your location, there may be a network administrator who is
responsible for network maintenance and upkeep. If so, ask your network
administrator to help connect your computer to the network.
To connect your Macintosh to a LocalTalk network, do the following:
1Shut down your Macintosh.
2Attach the LocalTalk adapter to the printer port on your computer.
