Note that there must be at least one seed router on the network. Discovery mode is not
supported for WAN ports, and therefore a valid network range needs to be specified for WAN
ports.

For Non-Extended Networks: enter the Network Number. This is the AppleTalk network number
of the LAN segment that the port is connected to. Specifying 0 places the segment in discovery
mode (a.k.a., non-seed router), in which the system learns its configuration information from
the seed router. Note that there must be at least one seed router on the network. Discovery
mode is not supported for WAN ports, and therefore a valid network number needs to be
specified for WAN ports.

Note:
Zones should not be configured for segments in the discovery mode.
A zone is a logical group of nodes on an internet, much like the concept of subnetting in the IP
world. Within the framework of Phase 2 the logical assignment of zones is limited to 255 zone
names for a network. Each name can be configured to represent a logical group within that
respective internet. An example would be zone 1 = Marketing, zone 2 = Engineering etc. By
configuring an AppleTalk router with logical zones you establish a mode of efficient data transport
that acts much the same as IP with multiple subnets.
