■If you are using LocalTalk with the Netopia R2121, 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 R2121’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 R2121, use the zone name and network number used by that router for that LocalTalk network. Otherwise, your LocalTalk network may experience routing conflicts.
