Technical information

3 Use the “Connect via” pop-up menu (if it’s available) to choose the port through which your computer
is connected to the network.
If you want to connect to a LocalTalk network, choose the port to which you attached your LocalTalk
adapter (in most cases, the printer port). If you want to connect to an Ethernet network, choose
Ethernet.
If you have installed an expansion card that supplies an additional port, the port will appear
automatically in the “Connect via” pop-up menu.
Note: If you don’t see a pop-up menu in the AppleTalk control panel, this setting has been locked.
Contact your network administrator for assistance. (If you don’t have a network administrator, you
can use the Administration user mode to unlock this setting. For more information about user modes,
click the h button in the AppleTalk control panel.)
4 Use the “Current zone” pop-up menu (if it’s available) to choose the zone you want.
If you don’t see a pop-up menu here, this setting has been locked or no zones have been set up.
(If your network has a network administrator, that person sets up zones. Some networks don’t
need zones.)
5 Click the close box to close the AppleTalk control panel.
If you have made changes in the control panel, an alert box asks if you want to save them. If you have
changed the port you are connecting through, an alert box also tells you that the change will interrupt
AppleTalk services temporarily. This means that your network services such as printing and electronic
mail may be temporarily unavailable, and you may have to choose a printer and reconnect to your
e-mail service again after saving changes.
6 To save your changes, click the Save button.
Your changes take effect immediately; you do not have to restart your computer.
