The following table explains which installation to choose:

About EtherTalk Phase 1 and Phase 2

EtherTalk Phase1 is limited to 255 devices and allows only one zone.

EtherTalk Phase 2 has virtually no limit (maximum—over 16 million

devices) and allows multiple zones. Phase 2 also offers optimized

network performance.

The Easy Install automatically installs EtherTalk Phase 2, now used

by most networks. If your network requires the use of EtherTalk

Phase 1, choose the Customize install option.
