To turn on AppleTalk:
To communicate with the ADAT HD24, the
Macintosh must be set to use AppleTalk, via the
Ethernet port. If you're not already doing that:
1. Open up the AppleTalk control panel (Apple
menu/Control Panels/AppleTalk).
2. As you did on the TCP/IP control panel, we
recommend that you duplicate the current
configuration and rename it, so it's easy to go
back to your previous settings. (In AppleTalk,
select File/Configurations, and duplicate a
configuration. Then rename it, and make that
configuration active by clicking the Make
Active button.)
3. Set "Connect via:" to "Ethernet" at the top of the
page.
If there is no connection to the Ethernet jack of the
computer, you'll get an error message asking you to
hook it up. If you haven't already, connect to the
HD24, turn its power on, and set it to FTP Server
mode (see page 76).
4. Click on the Options button. A screen comes
up to turn AppleTalk on; click on the "Active"
radio button and hit "OK".
If the screen doesn't look like the one above, go to the
Edit menu and select "User mode..." Then set the
User Mode to "Advanced".
If you're using Apple's Control Strip feature, you
can also turn AppleTalk on and off by clicking on
ADAT HD24 Reference Manual
chapter 9 • using Ethernet
the icon of the computer in the strip and selecting
"AppleTalk Active".
In most cases, you will not set your own
AppleTalk address, so you won't check the "User
defined" box, or care about the Node and
Network numbers. If you're in a special situation
with zones, etc., contact the person who set up
your network.
Location manager tip: If you want to be
able to switch back and forth between
settings in the future, open the Location
Manager and save a new location with the
TCP/IP and AppleTalk configurations you
just set. Check them by selecting each in
turn and making sure they're the new ones
(i.e., "ADAT HD24" etc., not "Home" or
"AOL").
Watch out for extension conflicts: Note
that you may have installed certain system
extensions that may conflict with Ethernet
networking. For example, the shareware
utility "FreePPP" doesn't allow Apple's core
Open Transport system to work.
have a problem, you might want to restart
your Mac with all extensions off (restart
while holding the shift key down).
works then, use the Extensions Manager to
turn individual extensions back on until the
problem reappears...then you know which
one is incompatible.
