AppleTalk Protocol

Required for AppleTalk

There are generally no required changes from the shipping Ethernet configuration for AppleTalk. The Ethernet port will autoconfigure to use AppleTalk Phase II, and will autoadapt to conditions on the Ethernet.

Suggested for AppleTalk

You may want to set your own network numbers, rather than using the autoconfigured values. You may also want to use more meaningful zone names.

RV: Use the Ethernet/AppleTalk screen.

CL: Use interface(misc) and appletalk(set).

DECnet Protocol

Required for DECnet

The router’s shipping configuration does not have DECnet turned on. You must turn it on and set several DECnet parameters.

Turn DECnet on

Set DECnet area

Set DECnet node

RV: Use the Main DECnet screen (All/DECnet).

CL: Use decnet(set).

Suggested for DECnet

Setting the parameters above should be adequate for most installations.

WAN Port PPP Configuration

This section covers the settings and software download required for PPP (point-to- point) protocol operation of the BR Router WAN port.

The RS-232 WAN port on a BR Router can be run synchronously or asynchronously, at rates up to 128Kbps (sync), or 115.2Kbps (async).
