Up/Down Arrow Keys to select, ESC to dismiss.

If you are using EtherTalk Phase ll on the Ethernet network connected to Netopia R3100, select EtherTalk Phase ll Enabled and toggle it to On.

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

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 R3100, 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 R3100 supports creating up to 32 zone names.

As an alternative, you can set EtherTalk seeding to soft seeding and let the Netopia R3100 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 the Return key to delete it and exit the list. Press the Escape key to exit the list without deleting any zones.

Select Set Default Zone to choose a different default zone. This is the zone where the Netopia R3100’s 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
