zones. A zone is a subgroup of users within a larger group of inter-
connected networks. Because you can have up to 64K nodes on an
EtherTalk network, it’s common to divide larger networks into zones to
reduce traffic.
Use the following procedure to attach a printer to and detach a printer
from a specific zone. If necessary, choose the Help button to see on-
line help.
1 From the Network menu, choose Set EtherTalk Zone...
CrownNet scans the network for available printers and zone
names, and then displays the information in a dialog box. The
shortcut for this command is Command-Z.
2 In the Printers box, select the appropriate printer by clicking
on its name.
The Printers box lists all available printers. Each printer name is
followed by an @character and the name of the zone to which it is
attached.
» Note:
If the appropriate printer doesn’t display in the Printers box,
click the Scan... button to rescan the network for available
printers.
3 In the EtherTalk Zones box, select the appropriate zone
name.
The EtherTalk Zones box shows the list of available EtherTalk
zones in the network.
» Note:
If the appropriate zone doesn’t display in the EtherTalk
Zones box, click the Scan... button to rescan the network for
available zones.
4 If necessary, type a password in the Password box.
The system administrator sets this password on the printer.
5 Choose the Set button to set the zone name (that is, attach
the selected printer to the selected zone).
