AsantéTalk Ethernet to LocalTalk Converter

9. I still cannot see my printer or computer!
•
If, after following all of these instructions, the printer or Lo-
calTalk computer is still not accessible by the network,
something is probably physically wrong with the setup
•
By the process of elimination, you need to test the
Ethernet cables, the din-8 to din-8 cable, or the LocalTalk
connectors--including the phone (RJ11) cable and the ter-
minators. For example, plug the printer directly into a Mac
that has a printer port using the same LocalTalk cabling
and see if the printer is accessible
•
Use the Ethernet cable to connect to some other Ethernet
device to test its functionality
•
If all the cables prove to be functioning, then the
AsantéTalk itself may be defective. Contact Asanté’s Tech-
nical Support
