AppleTalk networks
A network is a communication system that connects computers to share information using network services,
such as electronic mail, print spoolers, and file servers. Information is transferred over a cabling system or
WAN using a common set of protocols. You can think of the cabling system as an organization of cities, streets,
and buildings and the protocols as the method of sending letters or packages, as illustrated on the following
pages. A cable is the physical medium (for example, twisted pair or coaxial) over which information travels from
one device to another.
AppleTalk protocol
AppleTalk is a protocol set for local area networks developed by Apple Computer. While initially applied to the
LocalTalk cabling system for connecting Macintosh computers and LaserWriters, it has been expanded to use
other cabling systems, such as Ethernet, as well as the dial-up telephone networks and packet switching
systems. LocalTalk was originally known as the AppleTalk Personal Network system.
