USER'S GUIDE
3.
Select a Site Name.
4.
Select a System ID.
5.
Select a Port Type. This is the type of physical network segment that the port connects to. The
port type may either be LAN or WAN.
•
The LAN port type indicates that the system is physically connected to an Ethernet LAN
segment.
•
The WAN port type creates logical AppleTalk networks over WAN. It creates a logical
AppleTalk network that comprises of multiple numbered point-to-point links with the
same AppleTalk network range.
6.
Enter a user-defined Port Name that identifies the port to the system administrator.
Note:
There is an exception to the user-defined port name. If you enter macdialin for the port
name, this will automatically configure a WAN Mac Dial In port type. This port type
allows multiple remote Macintosh devices to connect via numbered point-to-point
links.
7.
For LAN port types, select the LAN Port Number.
8.
Enter the port's Network Number. This is the AppleTalk network number of the LAN segment
that the port is connected to. Specifying 0 places the port in discovery mode (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.
9.
Enter the port's Node ID. If the system is acting as a seed router on this port, then this parameter
specifies the suggested AppleTalk Node ID, which is used as the initial value for the AppleTalk
address for the port.
10. Click on OK.

Note:
Static routes should not be configured for segments in the discovery mode.
You only need to configure static routing entries if the system needs to access a WAN network that
is not directly connected to the system, or if the system needs to access a LAN network through a
router that does not support AppleTalk RTMP. Static routes specify the AppleTalk address of the
next hop router that provides access to this network.
