Connecting Your Local Network
3-3
EtherTalk and LocalTalk: These are AppleTalk protocols used over
Ethernet.
Once the Netopia Router is properly configured and connected to
your LAN, PC and Macintosh computers that have their required
components in place will be able to connect to the Internet or other
remote IP networks.
Connecting to a LocalTalk network—for 400 series models
Connect one end of the LocalTalk cable to the Netopia Router’s
PhoneNET port. Connect the other end of the cable to your LocalTalk
network.
If your LocalTalk network is not based on standard PhoneNET
cabling, use a PhoneNET-to-LocalTalk adaptor cable. Connect the
adaptor cable’s RJ-11 connector to the Netopia Router. Connect the
cable’s mini-DIN-3 connector to your LocalTalk network.
The PhoneNET port is terminated, so the Netopia Router should
only be used at the end of 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.
Note: Make sure you
do not connect your LocalTalk network to the
Telco port, one of the EtherWave ports, or one of the POTS (Phone 1
and 2) ports.
