If AppleLine is not responding, you may be using the wrong cable.
IF you have set up your Macintosh with a terminal program
(such as MacTerminal) and an AppleLine in the following manner:
- AppleLine is connected to the Macintosh by an Apple IIe to ImageWriter II
cable and gender changer. Both are connected to a 3174 cluster controller.
- After the AppleLine warms up, the yellow and green lights alternately
flash, whether the AppleLine is connected or not.
- MacTerminal has been configured as specified in the manual.
AND, when the AppleLine Supervisor document is opened and you press
Shift-Enter and Return, NOTHING HAPPENS -- whether the AppleLine is
connected to the cluster controller or not
THEN, your problem is probably a wrong cable.
To connect an AppleLine to a Macintosh Plus, Macintosh SE, or Macintosh II,
you must use one of these:
- the A2C0311 590-0331-B Tan
- the A2C0312 590-0555-A Platinum cable
These cables have a DIN 8 at one end and a 25 pin on the other.
