11-8 User’s Reference Guide

If another router is already present on the LocalTalk network that you will be connecting to the Netopia R5000 Series Router, use the zone name and network number used by that router for that LocalTalk network. Otherwise, your LocalTalk network may experience routing conflicts.

As an alternative, you can set LocalTalk seeding to soft seeding and let the Netopia R5000 Series Router receive the zone name and network number from the other router.

Select LocalTalk Net Number and enter the desired network number.

Select Seeding. From the pop-up menu, choose the type of seeding for the Netopia R5000 Series Router’s LocalTalk port to use (see “Routers and seeding” on page 11-3).

You have finished configuring LocalTalk.
