AppleTalk Setup 11-7

EtherTalk Phase II port is visible to other AppleTalk nodes. The default zone is also where new AppleTalk nodes will appear. If you do not set a default zone, the first zone you create will be the default zone.

■You can also set the range of EtherTalk Phase II network numbers. Select Net Low and enter the lower limit of the network number range. Select Net High and enter the upper limit of the range.

■Select the Seeding pop-up menu and choose the seeding method for the Netopia R9100 to use. (See “Routers and seeding” on page 11-3).

You have finished configuring EtherTalk Phase II.

Use this screen to set up the LocalTalk Port Routing attributes.

■If you are using LocalTalk with the Netopia R9100, select LocalTalk Enabled and make sure LocalTalk is set to On, which is the default.

Note: Since the LocalTalk connector attaches to the Auxiliary port on the router, that port will no longer be available for a third external modem.

■Select LocalTalk Zone Name and enter a new or existing zone name.

Note: Your LocalTalk network may already have a zone and network number in place. For the Netopia R9100’s LocalTalk port to be part of your LocalTalk network, it must have a network number and zone name that matches the values in use on the LocalTalk network.

If another router is already present on the LocalTalk network that you will be connecting to the Netopia R9100, use the zone name and network number used by that router for that LocalTalk network. Otherwise, your LocalTalk network may experience routing conflicts.
