W-8 data element definitions

AppleTalk Phase Type: There are three AppleTalk Phase Types:

•Phase 1 (non-extended network) is a single physical network that can support up to 254 mode addresses (devices). There is only one network number and one zone assigned to the network.

Phase 1 is not configured as Phase 1, but should follow the Transition mode install procedure. This is done so that Macintosh Transparent Printing can be enabled.

•Phase 2 (extended network) is a network in which there are two or more network numbers assigned to a single physical network. Each network number on an extended network is an addressing channel that can support 253 devices and only one zone name. Phase 2 routers can be configured to support non-extended networks.

•Transition mode (Phase 2 Transition) is a way of configuring a Phase 2 router so that it can function on an Internet that includes Phase 1 routers. Since Phase 1 routers cannot recognize multiple network numbers or multiple zones on a network, a Phase 2 router in the transition mode is deliberately limited to addressing only 253 devices.

You can determine which EtherTalk phase type is running by completing the following steps:

1.Select the Control panel from the Apple Menu Icon (upper left corner of the screen on a Macintosh).

2.Double-click the Network icon.

3.The icon describes the phase type:

a.An icon showing two single opposing arrows represents EtherTalk 1.0 (Phase 1).

b.An icon showing two double opposing arrows represents EtherTalk 2.0 (Phase 2).
