    ASANTÉ chap 1 AsantéPrint Page 1 Wednesday, October 16, 1996 8:54 AM Chapter 1 Introducing AsantéPrint Thank you for purchasing AsantéPrint or AsantéPrint 8. AsantéPrint and AsantéPrint 8 are high-speed Ethernet to LocalTalk hardware converters that enable you to connect LocalTalk printers or other LocalTalk peripherals to an Ethernet network. With AsantéPrint, you can use LocalTalk resources over the faster Ethernet and don’t need to buy special Ethernet printers or peripherals. AsantéPrint comes in two versions—AsantéPrint and AsantéPrint 8. With AsantéPrint you can connect up to two LocalTalk devices; with AsantéPrint 8 you can connect up to eight. You can access LocalTalk devices from any Macintosh on the Ether- net. To access LocalTalk devices from an IBM PC or PC compatible, you need network operating system software, such as Novell’s Net- Ware for Macintosh, Microsoft’s Macintosh Services for LAN Man- ager, Apple’s AppleShare or Sitka’s TOPS. Please consult these third- party manufacturers for more detailed information. AsantéPrint works transparently, passing print and data requests between the Ethernet and LocalTalk devices. It is compatible with laser printers and printers supporting Apple’s LocalTalk standards. AsantéPrint is compatible with the following printers: • Apple LaserWriters • Apple ImageWriters II • Hewlett-Packard laser printers • NewGen Systems Turbo PS Series printers • Other third-party LocalTalk printers 1-1 chap 1 AsantéPrint Page 2 Wednesday, October 16, 1996 8:54 AM Your AsantéPrint package contains the following items: • AsantéPrint unit • External power supply • T-connector or RJ-45 cable • AsantéPrint Manager software • Advanced Network Security Protocol (ANSP) cdev software • This AsantéPrint User’s Guide All information in this manual applies to both AsantéPrint and AsantéPrint 8.

  • Setting up the Laserwriter
    Chapter 1 Setting Up the LaserWriter Inside your printer’s packaging, in addition to the printer installation disks, you should find ■ a U.S. letter-size paper cassette for 110V printers, or an A4 paper cassette for 220V printers ■ a cassette top with sliding guides for inserting printer paper manually ■ a power cord for the printer You should also have obtained a LaserWriter® II Toner Cartridge from your authorized Apple® dealer. 1 Choosing a place for Before you set up, choose a work area that meets the physical the LaserWriter requirements of the printer. Make sure the surface on which you place the printer is flat and stable. The LaserWriter runs on ordinary household or office current. Choose a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, cold, or humidity. The printer works best at temperatures between 64° and 77° F (18° and 25° C) and at a relative humidity of between 30 percent and 70 percent. Choose a safe place Like almost all laser printers and photocopiers, the LaserWriter produces a small amount of ozone. Be sure to locate the printer in a well-ventilated area where its exhaust does not blow directly into anyone’s work area. See Appendix B for important information about ozone emissions. Don’t use devices that produce open flames, such as Bunsen burners or welding torches, near the LaserWriter. Don’t use ammonia-based cleaners, which can react chemically with the toner, on or around the LaserWriter. 20 cm Exhaust vent (7.9") min. 40 cm 50 cm (15.7") min.

  • The Apple Lisa Handbook
    THE APPLE LISA HANDBOOK compiled by Michael J Posner copyright 1991, 2005 © all rights reserved .reprinted materials copyrighted by the original owner INTRODUCTION In the beginning there was this: “c:\”, and it was hard. But there was an answer, and it came from.....Xerox, yes Xerox. And one day Steve Jobs came to Xerox and said, “This is great”. So Steve went back to Apple and said, let there be Lisa (allegedly his young daughter out of wedlock). And Apple labored for three years and then (without Steve, who was now raising a pirate flag over at the Macintosh Group) there was Lisa. And Lisa was cool, like no other computer ever made, before or since. But Apple lost heart and Lisa was discontinued. This hurt many people (especially those with vision and a wallet $10,000 lighter). But Lisa lives for those dedicated users. This book is dedicated to them. My wife asked me why I wrote this book. She also asked me why I bought a Lisa. Afterall, it was nine years old, weighed over 50 pounds and besides, what was wrong with my 386 PC clone. I told her how I fell in love with the first Lisa I saw 8 years ago, and how I always wanted. After successions of Macs (512, 512Ke, Plus, 2 SEs, a II, and an SI) and then a variety of IBM clones (in addition to my profession as an attorney, I administer an eighteen node pc network so I needed a pc at home to stay up on the latest pc software as well as to master the intricacies of DOS), I had all but given up on my dream of a Lisa when one day on America Online I had the opportunity to acquire a Lisa 2/10.

  • Special Projects and Planning 1988-1989 Annual Report
    Special Projects and Planning 1988-1989 Annual Report Peter W. Day July 10, 1989 SUMMARY Special Projects and Planning worked to advance the computing capabilities and services at Emory; to keep current in computing techniques and technology; to disseminate knowledge to the university community through presentations, consultation, handouts, reports and articles; to discover new facts and increase understanding through careful testing and measurement; and to participate in the world academic community through electronic bulletin boards, the sharing of Emory-written code, and the writing of Mathematical Reviews. We worked to keep current in computing techniques and technology by reading numerous technical publications, attending twenty-two (22) technical conferences, talks and demonstrations, and reading technical electronic discussions amounting to over 200 electronic mail items per week. We gained a deeper understanding of the AppleTalk and IP protocols by capturing and analyzing packets and investigating network problems. We ran numerous tests and benchmarks involving computers and networking, and found the answers to numerous questions. We also helped numerous users with issues relating mostly to networking, LANs and e-mail. We disseminated knowledge to the Emory community by giving fourteen (14) talks and demonstrations; by writing twenty-two (22) articles, reports and handouts; by writing two Public Pages articles and providing text for eight (8) more articles; by consulting with, helping and giving explanations to at least thirty (30) EUCC staff and twenty-nine (29) Emory people outside EUCC; and by meeting with eight (8) departments to answer questions and give advice about networking. We helped save money by finding ways for LAN-attached workstations to use only their LAN connection instead of an asynchronous connection to access EUCC multi-user computers (“hosts”).

However, if wireless LANs are to be successful it will likely be because these systems "stand on the shoulders" of the overwhelming market success of wired local area networks. The purpose of this paper is to summarize industry knowledge about wired local area networks, their use, applications and market acceptance as a basis for the requirements, applications and market for wireless LANs. The data presented support certain conclusions about the wired LAN market and provide the basis of inference for the wireless LAN market. • There is little historical use of integrated real-time voice and data communications and little documented buying demand for such services. • LANs have become the de facto standard for desktop data connectivity. By the mid-1990's it is expected that the majority of the installed base of desktop data equipment will be attached to a LAN. The expected high market penetration of wired LANs in page 1 March 1991 Doc: IEEE P802.11191· 17 the next five years should give a sense of urgency to the wi reless LAN standards development process. The earlier a simple standard can be adopted, the more relevant it will likely be.
