Dynamic configuration using MacIP (optional)
If you want to use MacIP to dynamically assign IP addresses to the Macintosh computers on your network you must install the optional AppleTalk feature set kit.
Note: You cannot use MacIP dynamic configuration to configure your Netopia R5000 Series Router because you must first configure the router in order to enable AppleTalk.
Once the AppleTalk kit is installed, you can configure your Macintoshes for MacIP. To configure dynamically using MacIP, perform the following:
Using Open Transport TCP/IP
1.Go to the Apple menu. Select Control Panels and then TCP/IP.
2.With the TCP/IP window open, go to the Edit menu and select User Mode. Choose Advanced and click OK.
3.In the TCP/IP window, select or type information into the fields as shown in the following table.
