TROY Group EtherWind 802.11b - Manual (Page 27)

AppleTalk Network
Configuration
The EtherWind runs over wireless Ethernet (also known as Ethertalk). This capa-
bility allows Macintosh computers to print jobs to a printer simultaneously with
jobs from Windows, NetWare, and other computers.
The print server will appear as a shareable printer node on an Appletalk Phase 2
network. The print server broadcasts information to Macintoshes on the network
and automatically appears in the Chooser on each Macintosh. Application pro-
grams can print without any modification or special software on the Macintosh.
Configuring the Macintosh
1. Identify the printer to which the print server is connected, and install the
printer driver.
2. Verify that Airport is enabled from the Network Control Panel or AppleTalk
Control Panel if you are using an Airport enabled Macintosh. If you are using
a Macintosh connected to an Airport base station (or other Wireless Access
Point) via the wired Ethernet, you will want to be sure
Ethernet is selected.
Setting Up Printing (MacOS 8.x and 9.x)
1. At a Macintosh workstation, from the Apple menu, open the Chooser.
2. If the Chooser window displays an AppleTalk zone list, select the necessary zone.
3. Click on the icon for the printer driver you are going to use. If you have a
Postscript printer, you can use the LaserWriter driver.
4. Select the print server name (the default is XCD_xxxxxx_P1_AT, where
"xxxxxx" are the last six digits of the Ethernet address.).
