LocalTalk Setup
The Netopia Router can function as a LocalTalk-to-EtherTalk router.
This means that a LocalTalk network can be connected to the
Netopia Router’s PhoneNET port.
Select LocalTalk Setup in the AppleTalk Setup screen and press
Return to the LocalTalk Routing Setup screen.
LocalTalk Routing Setup
LocalTalk Enabled: On
LocalTalk Zone Name: Unnamed
LocalTalk Net Number: 0
Seeding...: Soft-Seeding
Use this screen to set up the LocalTalk Port Routing attributes.
■ If you are using LocalTalk with the Netopia Router, select
LocalTalk Enabled and make sure LocalTalk is set to On, which
is the default.
■ 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 Netopia’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 Router, use the zone
name and network number used by that router for that
LocalTalk network. Otherwise, your LocalTalk network may
experience routing conflicts.
