Configuring ARA connections
ARA uses V.42 Alternate Procedure as its data link, so ARA can be used only over
asynchronous modem connections.

To configure ARA connections, you set the following parameters (shown with sample
settings):
Ethernet
Mod Config
Appletalk=Yes
AppleTalk
Zone Name=*

Example of ARA configuration that enables IP access

This section shows an example of an ARA configuration that enables a Macintosh with an
internal modem to dial into the MAX unit by means of ARA Client software and communicate
with an IP host on the Ethernet. A connection that does not require IP access would be a subset
of this example. Figure 4-12 shows the sample network.
