LaserWriter IIg: AppleTalk Phase 2 on EtherTalk Network



When an Apple LaserWriter IIg is connected to an EtherTalk network, is it
an AppleTalk Phase 2 or AppleTalk Phase 1 node? I suspect that it is an
AppleTalk Phase 2 node. Does this mean that it won't work on an AppleTalk
Phase 1 EtherTalk network? Can it be changed to AppleTalk Phase 1 somehow?

The Apple LaserWriter IIg, when connected to an EtherTalk network, is an
AppleTalk Phase 2 device only. There is no way to make it an AppleTalk
Phase 1 device on an EtherTalk network.

To get the Apple LaserWriter IIg to work on an AppleTalk Phase 1
EtherTalk network, you need to set up an AppleTalk Phase 1/AppleTalk
Phase 2 transition router on the EtherTalk network.
