Unregistered Addresses

If you continue to experience problems after addressing the above
issues, it is likely to be caused by a common error that is a function
of the AsantéTalk using registered addresses for devices that have
been restarted (such as when there has been a power outage).
These new addresses are unregistered and this is what causes the
failure to find the other devices. Follow the steps below to resolve
this issue:
1. Make sure that the yellow cable is used from the workstation to
the AsantéTalk.
2. If using a hub, make sure that the silver cable is used, and that
its connection to the hub is through a numbered port (not the
uplink port).
3. Use the serial cable from the AsantéTalk to the printer. You can
move the cables without powering down any devices, as they
do not carry any voltage.
4. With the AsantéTalk attached to the LocalTalk network, and
with all other devices powered on, power down the AsantéTalk
for about 5 seconds.
5. Plug the power back in, and in about 40 seconds, everything
should show up in Chooser.
If these steps do not work, continue with the following:
6. Leave all AsantéTalk cables in place and shut down all sys-
tems attached to the LocalTalk chain, including the AsantéTalk.
7. If you have a cable or DSL modem, disconnect the modem
from your hub.
8. Leaving the AsantéTalk off, individually restart the devices at-
tached to the LocalTalk string. Allow the workstations to come
fully to the desktop and all the printers to completely cycle and
print (if enabled) the status page.
9. Restart the AsantéTalk.
10. From the Ethernet workstation, select the Apple Share icon
from Chooser. You should see the attached systems on the
LocalTalk chain and should also be able to print to the remote
printers.
