MacIP (Kip Forwarding) Options

When hosts using AppleTalk (typically those using LocalTalk) are not directly connected to an IP network (usually an Ethernet), they must use a MacIP (AppleTalk-IP) gateway.

The optional Netopia AppleTalk feature enhancement kit provides for this service. A MacIP gateway converts network traffic into the correct format for AppleTalk or IP, depending on the traffic’s destination. The MacIP gateway can also distribute IP addresses to AppleTalk computers on the network.

Note: Macintosh computers that have LocalTalk or EtherTalk selected in the MacTCP control panel, or “AppleTalk (MacIP)” selected in the TCP/IP control panel, must use the MacIP gateway to communicate with the Internet or any other IP network. Users should point their MacTCP or TCP/IP control panel to look in the LocalTalk zone for the MacIP server. Macintosh computers that have Ethernet selected in the MacTCP or TCP/IP control panel can do their own AppleTalk-IP conversions.

Setting up MacIP involves choosing MacIP dynamic address serving and then configuring that type. KIP forwarding is simply a method for distributing IP addresses to AppleTalk clients.

To go to the MacIP Setup screen, select MacIP/KIP Clients in the IP Address Serving screen from the System Configuration menu.

Select Serve Mac IP/KIP Clients and toggle to Yes, to enable MacIP/KIP address serving capability. This
