6-2 AppleTalk Network Configuration
Step 1 Macintosh Configuration
TROY XCD print servers are compatible with the Apple
LaserWriter 8 drivers as well as drivers supplied by many

Network Control Panel does not exist, you must use Apple's
Network Installer software to add these capabilities.

"xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address and "pp"

S2 for the XConnect 100 second parallel and serial ports; for
example, XCD_009C53_P1_AT) should appear in the
Chooser. Note that the serial ports will not appear if they are
set for console mode operation.
To select the TROY XCD print server, open the Chooser
from the Apple Menu on the Macintosh, and then click on the
LaserWriter icon (if necessary, select the appropriate
AppleTalk zone from the Network Control Panel). Then
click on the TROY XCD print server name and close the
