Checking and activating the AppleTalk protocol

Important networking information for Mac OS X users

Please note: because Macintosh System versions differ, the names of windows and fields may be slightly different than what's presented in these instructions.

1. From the Apple menu, choose Control Panels, then open the TCP/IP Control Panel.
2. Depending upon the System version you're using, you may see a field labeled Connect via. If you do, be sure that Ethernet is selected for this field. If you don't see a Connect via field, you may need to open the Network Control Panel to select Ethernet.
3. This step also depends upon the System version you're using. If the AppleTalk Control Panel shows only two fields-Connect via and Current zone, choose User Mode from the Edit menu. Then, from the Select user mode list, mark the Advanced selection and click OK. The AppleTalk Control Panel will then expand to display additional fields and buttons.
4. If the AppleTalk Control Panel has a Make AppleTalk field, be sure the Active selection is marked. (On some AppleTalk Control Panels, you may need to click a button-usually labeled "Options"-to locate the Make AppleTalk field.)
5. That's it! This computer is ready to run AccountEdge on a network! Close the AppleTalk Control Panel windows that are open, and don't forget to check all the computers on your network using these steps.
