Example of ARA configuration that enables IP access
This section shows an example of an ARA configuration that enables a Macintosh with an
internal modem to dial into the MAX unit by means of ARA Client software and communicate
with an IP host on the Ethernet. A connection that does not require IP access would be a subset
of this example. Figure 4-12 shows the sample network.
