Local Area Network based on phone wire and small transformers to interconnect Macintosh computers.

It is used by networks to talk. It was developed by Macintosh computers and can be used on Apple and non-Apple computers to communicate and share resources such as printers and file servers. Specific hardware and software is required for Non-Apple computers. It's protocol is similar to the ISO/OSI reference model.

A seven-layer protocol stack designed by Apple Computers that allows the sharing of files and printers and the sending of traffic between computers. Its primary design goal was to give the AppleTalk user a simple plug-and-play environment in which the user does not need to be concerned with the details of network configuration.

networking scheme (or protocol) developed by Apple allowing Macs to share a printer or network resources; runs 230 Kilobits per second on non-coax cable. AppleTalk is the network language, LocalTalk is the actual cabling joining the computers. AppleTalk has certain advantages of simplicity, with compromises in speed.

the networking protocol developed by Apple, allowing computers to talk with other computers and with printers; AppleTalk is the set of conventions by which files are communicated, with various gatekeeping functions and end-of-file signals. A different protocol, TCP/IP, operates on other networks (like UCDNet), but translator boxes allow AppleTalk to operate over the same hook-ups.

n. An inexpensive local area network developed by Apple that can be used by Apple and non-Apple computers to communicate and share resources such as printers and file servers. Non-Apple computers must be equipped with AppleTalk hardware and suitable software. The network uses a layered set of protocols similar to the ISO/OSI model and transfers information in the form of packets called frames. AppleTalk supports connections to other AppleTalk networks through devices known as bridges, and it supports connections to dissimilar networks through devices called gateways. See also bridge, frame (definition 2), gateway.
