Setting the TCP/IP control panel for Ethernet

If you want to connect to an Ethernet network using
TCP/IP network protocols, you need to change the
setting in the TCP/IP control panel.

Follow these steps:

1. Choose Control Panels from the Apple (

K

) menu.

2. Double-click the TCP/IP control panel to open it.

3. Choose Ethernet from the pop-up menu.

(You may have different network-connection
choices from those shown in the figure.)

4. Make any changes you want to the configuration or

the IP address.

Consult your network administrator if you need
assistance with this information.

5. Close the TCP/IP control panel.

A dialog box asks you to confirm your changes.

6. Click Save to save the changes you made in the

TCP/IP connection.

You are now ready to use TCP/IP services
available on your Ethernet network.

For Apple Ethernet CS II Twisted Pair and Coax
Cards only:

7. Check that the LED light on the card (above the port)

indicates that the card is working properly.

Twisted Pair Card: The light is pale green when the
connection is good. The green light blinks brightly
when data is being transmitted from the card.
Coax Card: The light is pale green when the card
is selected in either the TCP/IP or the AppleTalk
control panel. The green light blinks brightly
when data is being transmitted from the card.

You’ve now completed setting up your Apple
Ethernet CS II software for networking.
