To view the zones available to EtherTalk Phase ll, select Show Zones and press Return. You can dismiss the list of zones by pressing Return or Escape.

Select Enter New Zone Name to enter a new zone name.

Note: Your EtherTalk network number and zone name must match the values in use on the EtherTalk network.

If another router is already present on the EtherTalk network that you will be connecting to the Netopia R9100, use the zone names and network numbers used by that router for that EtherTalk network. Otherwise, your EtherTalk network may experience routing conflicts. The Netopia R9100 supports creating up to 32 zone names.

As an alternative, you can set EtherTalk seeding to soft seeding and let the Netopia R9100 receive the zone name and network number from the other router.

To remove zones from the list, select Delete Zone Name and press Return to see the zones list. Use the Up and Down Arrow keys to select the zone to delete. Press Return to delete it and exit the list. Press Escape to exit the list without deleting any zones.
