Q: What type of Ethernet Cable do I need to connect the
AsantéTalk to a Switch, Hub, or Bridge?
A: An Ethernet cable that is wired as a standard IEEE
10BaseT cable is required. The cable must be a Cate-
gory 3 or 5 type and not exceed an overall length of
100 Meters or 328 feet.
Q: I just connected an Apple iMac to the AsantéTalk via
Ethernet. Why don’t I see my Localtalk Printers or Sys-
tems?
A: After connecting the Yellow cable to the AsantéTalk
and the Apple iMac the iMac must be configured for
the proper connection method - to verify or configure
the setting, simply open the Control Panel Device
named Appletalk. For proper operation, the Connect
Via selection must be set to Ethernet.
Q: When I switch to Ethernet in my Appletalk Control
panel, it takes a while before it switches. Is this nor-
mal?
A: Yes. When making the Ethernet selection, the system
will poll the Ethernet network and may hesitate for a
few moments - this is normal. When it finishes switch-
ing, save the configuration, then go to the Chooser and
select the appropriate resource icon.
