Configure The Macintosh For Ethertalk; Change The Ethertalk Zone Name; Before Beginning Software Installation And Configuration - Xante FilmMaker 4 User Manual

Typically, only Macintosh computers are installed on an EtherTalk network. If you
have PCs operating in an EtherTalk network, see the documentation that came with
your PC EtherTalk interface.
The following steps are required to set up your XANTÉ printer on an EtherTalk network.
"Port Connection: Ethernet Port" earlier in this chapter covers step 1; the next two
sections cover steps 2 and 3.
1. Connect your XANTÉ printer to the network through the Ethernet port.
2. Configure your Macintosh for EtherTalk. See the next section, "Configure the
Macintosh for EtherTalk," for details.
3. Change the EtherTalk Zone name, if necessary using the Setzone.ps file and
Adobe Downloader or via your browser. See "Change the EtherTalk Zone
Name" later in this chapter for details.

Configure the Macintosh for EtherTalk

Configure your connection through the AppleTalk Control Panel under Apple menu:
Control Panels: AppleTalk on a Macintosh with OS 8.X or higher.
• Go to the Apple menu, select Control Panels, and then select AppleTalk. Select
Ethernet from the drop-down menu.

Change the EtherTalk Zone Name

On an EtherTalk network with more than one zone, the network router assigns your
printer a default zone. Check with your System Administrator to determine the
correct zone for your printer. Then, if necessary, change the printer's zone name using
the Setzone.ps file and Adobe Downloader or the Set EtherTalk Zone option available
through your browser. See "Using Adobe Downloader" or see "Network (EtherTalk,
General, and TCP/IP)" later in this chapter.

Before Beginning Software Installation and Configuration

Before you begin software installation and configuration, be aware that installation
depends on your Macintosh OS version.
• Any classic Macintosh OS version (not version X): When the XANTÉ Utilities
CD-ROM is inserted into the computer, the setup program starts (or should
start) automatically.
