If the transceiver has dual male BNC connectors, you
can plug the coaxial cable into either one of the

Setting the EtherTalk Zone Name
If you need to set the EtherTalk zone name to a name other than the
default name supplied by your router, you can do this by creating and
downloading a PostScript file to the controller. You can use the
Adobe Font Downloader in the XANTÉ Utilities to send this file to
the controller.
When you create the file, zone names are limited to 32 characters
and should not contain the equal sign (=), the approximately equal
sign ( ), or the asterisk (*). For example, to name your zone
"Marketing - First Floor" using the procedure later in this section,
you would type the following in step 3.
(%EtherTalk_NV%) << /EtherTalkZone (Marketing-First
Floor) >>setdevparams
Note: Check with the system administrator to find out what zone
name to use.
To set the EtherTalk zone name
1.
Open the TeachText program which came with your
Macintosh.
2.
Select New from the File menu.
