There are two ways to connect your Newton to a Macintosh:
m Using a serial cable
m Using a LocalTalk network (LocalTalk connection is more complex but faster than serial communication)
Both procedures are explained in the next few pages.
Using a serial cable
1
Plug one end of the serial cable into the communication port on your Newton.
Use the cable that came with this manual.
2
Plug the other end of the serial cable into the printer port (
[) or the modem port (W) on your Macintosh.
.
If you use the printer
port, go to the Chooser
and make sure
AppleTalk is inactive.
Connecting a Newton PDA to your Macintosh
Important:
If you connect Newton to a PowerBook that has an internal modem, you may need to open the
PowerBook or PowerBook Setup control panel and select the External Modem button before you can complete the
connection.
