Q: Does it matter where the AsantéTalk resides in the
Localtalk network topology?
A: Yes. The AsantéTalk provides optimal performance
when it resides at the beginning of the Localtalk net-
work topology, and is properly terminated.
Q: What port do I plug the Localtalk connector into on
my Localtalk Macintosh?
A: If your Macintosh has a Network Control Panel, you
should select Localtalk Built-in and plug your Localtalk
adapter connector into the Printer port. If your Macin-
tosh is running Open Transport and has an Appletalk
Control Panel, you can select either the Printer or
Modem port. Connect the Localtalk adapter into the
port that will be used for communication. (Note – This
will NOT work with the iMac – it does not have a Local-
talk printer port!)
Q: How many Localtalk devices can I attach to the
AsantéTalk?
A: The AsantéTalk will support up to 8 additional Local-
talk devices.
