Configuring Individual WAN Connections
The Connection profile

AppleTalk Options

For the MAX unit, you need to enable AppleTalk routing by setting Ethernet > Mod Config >
AppleTalk to Yes. For incoming switched calls, you have to configure the Answer profile to
enable AppleTalk routing. Then, you need to enable AppleTalk routing for each Connection
profile that supports it. You don’t have to enable AppleTalk routing in all Connection profiles
—only the connections that use it.

The Ethernet > Connections > Connection profile > AppleTalk Options subprofile includes
parameters that define whether the remote IPX caller is a router or a dialin client, the name of
the AppleTalk zone, the beginning and end of the zone range, the default zone for nodes, and
the name of the AppleTalk zone:

Netware t/o

Number of minutes the unit enables clients to remain logged into a
NetWare server even though their IPX connections has been torn
down.

Parameter

Specifies

Parameter

Specifies

Peer

Whether the remote endpoint is a single PPP user or a router.

Zone Name

Name of the AppleTalk zone to which the MAX unit belongs. A zone
is a multicast address containing an arbitrary subset of the AppleTalk
nodes in an internet. Each node belongs to only one zone, but a
particular extended network can contain nodes belonging to any
number of zones. Zones provide departmental or other groupings of
network entities that a user can easily understand.

Net Start

Beginning of the zone range that defines the networks available for
packets that are to be routed to this static route. If the unit is an
AppleTalk router, it brings up the line when it receives packets
addressed to the network number (defined by Net Start and Net End)
or zone name specified for the remote connection, and routes packets
to the appropriate network or zone.

Net End

End of the zone range that defines the networks available for packets
that are to be routed to this static route.

Default Zone

Default zone for nodes on an AppleTalk seed router’s internet. (A seed
router is a AppleTalk router from which other routers learn their
network configurations.) All AppleTalk nodes on the seceded network
use the default zone until a user explicitly selects a different zone
name.

Zone Name #N

Name of the AppleTalk zone to which the unit belongs. If the local
Ethernet network supports an AppleTalk router with configured zones,
you can place the unit in one of those zones.
