Connecting to a Local Area Network
Your computer has built-in hardware allowing you to connect to the following types of
networks:
m LocalTalk: To connect to a Local Talk network, you plug a LocalTalk cable to the printer/
external modem port (´) on the back of the PowerBook.
m Ethernet: To connect to a high-speed Ethernet network, you plug an Ethernet cable into
the Ethernet port (G) on the back of the PowerBook.
Once your computer is connected to a network, see the online help, available in the Help
menu, for information about printing to a network printer, accessing information on file
servers, and sharing files on your computer with other users. Ask your network administrator
for information about network services such as Internet access and electronic mail.
Connecting to a LocalTalk Network
To connect your Macintosh PowerBook to a LocalTalk network, you need LocalTalk cables
and a LocalTalk adapter (available from your Apple-authorized dealer). If a network

help connecting your computer to the network.
To connect your Macintosh to a LocalTalk network, do the following:
1 Open the cover on the computer’s back panel to access the printer/external modem port
(labeled with the ´ icon).
2 Attach the LocalTalk adapter to the printer/external modem port.
