Appletalk Entity Window - NEC Silentwriter 1765 Configuration Manual

AppleTalk Entity Window

Open the AppleTalk Entity window by selecting the
AppleTalk Entity button in the LAN Card Configuration
window. The AppleTalk Entity window allows you to
see and modify AppleTalk Entities for the selected
printer.
The two default entities are "LaserWriter" and
"ITC_Responder." AppleTalk uses both entities to
control communications with printers on the network.
The "LaserWriter" entity is used to communicate
between the Macintosh with the LaserWriter driver and
the LAN card. If the "LaserWriter" entity is deleted or
changed, the printer will not appear in the Chooser
window under LaserWriter or LaserWriter 8.
WARNING!
Delete the "LaserWriter" entity only if
you do not plan to use the Silentwriter with AppleTalk
networks.
The "ITC_Responder" entity is used by NEC 1765
software. Only LAN cards with this entity respond to
requests from the NEC 1765 software. Change or delete
this name if you do not want the Silentwriter to appear
in the printer list in the Printer Administration window.
For example, change or delete the "ITC_Responder"
entity to prevent users from using the NEC 1765 to
modify LAN card parameters.
If you have changed or deleted the "LaserWriter" or
"ITC_Responder" entities but need to view the
Silentwriter in the Chooser or modify the LAN card
parameters using the NEC 1765 software, follow the
instructions to restore the entity types to factory
defaults. See "Restoring Factory LAN Card Settings" on
page 2-8.
