  • Page 5 4) The yellow Ethernet cable versus the silver Ethernet cable. The yellow Ethernet cable is a “cross-over” cable. As such it is for use when the AsantéTalk is plugged directly into the Ethernet port of a Mac. The silver Ethernet cable is a “straight through” cable. It is to be employed when connecting the AsantéTalk into an Ethernet hub or switch.

The Micro AsantéPrint is better suited for large networks with Appletalk zones. It includes a software program that allows you to select in which zone the device and its printers appear.
