MacIP (Kip Forwarding) Options
When hosts using AppleTalk (typically those using LocalTalk) are not
directly connected to an IP network (usually an ethernet), they must
use a MacIP (AppleTalk-IP) gateway. Such a service is provided by
AppleTalk models of the Netopia Routers. A MacIP gateway converts
network traffic into the correct format for AppleTalk or IP, depending
on the traffic’s destination. The MacIP gateway can also distribute IP
addresses to AppleTalk computers on the network.
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 Advanced Configuration menu.
Non-Small Office
AppleTalk models only
■ Select Serve Mac IP/KIP Clients and toggle to Yes, to enable
MacIP/KIP address serving capability. This option is

Address Serving are enabled.
