Connecting to a LocalTalk network

If you have purchased the AppleTalk Kit (part number TER/ATI), you can also connect the Router to an AppleTalk
network that uses either Ethernet or LocalTalk. Refer to the sheet of optional feature set add-ons in your
Netopia R3100 documentation folio.
The AppleTalk feature expansion kit includes a dual RJ-11 PhoneNET® connector that attaches to the Auxiliary
port on the Netopia R3100.
Netopia R3100 Auxiliary port for connecting to LocalTalk
Connect the male HD-15 end of the LocalTalk cable to the Auxiliary port on your Netopia R3100. Connect the
other end of the cable to your LocalTalk network. You can use only one connection on the Auxiliary port. You
cannot use both the PhoneNET connector and an external modem.
If your LocalTalk network is not based on standard PhoneNET cabling, use a PhoneNET-to-LocalTalk adaptor
cable available from Farallon. Connect the adaptor cable's RJ-11 connector to the AppleTalk cable's PhoneNet
connector. Connect the cable's mini-DIN-3 connector to your LocalTalk network.
Be sure to observe the standard rules governing maximum cable lengths and limits on the number of nodes on
a PhoneNET network. The dual RJ-11 PhoneNET connector allows insertion in the LocalTalk daisy chain, or at
the end. If the device is connected at the end of the daisy chain, you must install the accompanying terminator.
