Important Info about Apple Location Manager

Always use the Installer program to install Apple Location
Manager. The software may not work correctly if you try to copy
or drag it to the System Folder. (You install Apple Location
Manager by locating the "Location Manager Install" folder and
double-clicking the "Install Location Manager" document.)


Turning AppleTalk on or off

With Open Transport, it is possible to use Apple Location Manager
to turn AppleTalk on or off. You must use the AppleTalk control
panel, not the chooser, and create named configurations
corresponding to those on and off states.

These are the steps to create an "AppleTalk Off" configuration:

1. Open the AppleTalk control panel.
2. Select "Configurations" from the File menu.
3. Duplicate the active configuration, naming the new
configuration "AppleTalk Off".
4. Click on "Make Active".
5. Select "User Mode" in the Edit menu.
6. Click on "Advanced" and then click "OK" to close the window.
7. Click on "Options".
8. Click on the "Inactive" radio button, then click "OK" to close
the window.
9. Close the AppleTalk control panel, saving changes when asked.

Having taken these steps (or similar steps for creating an
"AppleTalk On" configuration in Open Transport), you can now
"Apply" these named configurations to any location you choose
using the "AppleTalk & TCP/IP" setting in Apple Location Manager.
Note that you may have to use similar steps to create a named
configuration for TCP/IP (if you have not already done so). See
the Networking topics in Mac OS Help for details.

For complete information, please see the Read Me included with
this software.
