Netopia R3100 Network Router User Manual


 
11-20 User’s Reference Guide
Note: Macintosh computers that have LocalTalk or EtherTalk selected in the MacTCP control panel, or
“AppleTalk (MacIP)” selected in the TCP/IP control panel, must use the MacIP gateway to communicate with the
Internet or any other IP network. Users should point their MacTCP or TCP/IP control panel to look in the
LocalTalk zone for the MacIP server. Macintosh computers that have Ethernet selected in the MacTCP or TCP/IP
control panel can do their own AppleTalk-IP conversions.
Setting up MacIP involves choosing MacIP dynamic address serving and then configuring that type. KIP
forwarding is simply a method for distributing IP addresses to AppleTalk clients.
To go to the MacIP Setup screen, select MacIP/KIP Clients in the IP Address Serving screen from the System
Configuration menu.
Select Serve Mac IP/KIP Clients and toggle to Yes, to enable MacIP/KIP address serving capability. This
option is automatically enabled if the AppleTalk kit is installed and IP Address Serving is enabled.
Select MacIP/KIP Static Options and press Return. The MacIP (KIP) Forwarding Setup screen tells the
Netopia R3100 how many static addresses to allocate for MacIP/KIP clients. The addresses must fall
within the address pool from the previous screen. You will need to enter the number of static MacIP
addresses to reserve in this screen.
Note that the address pool IP range will also be listed for your referral in this screen.
You have finished your IP Setup.
