If you have purchased the AppleTalk feature expansion kit, 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 R5000 Series documentation folio.
The AppleTalk feature expansion kit includes a special dual RJ-11 PhoneNET connector that attaches to the
Auxiliar y por t on the Netopia R5000 Series.
Netopia R5000 Series Auxiliary port for connecting to LocalTalk
Connect the male HD-15 end of the PhoneNET connector to the Auxiliar y por t on your Netopia R5000 Series.
Connect the other end of the cable to your LocalTalk network. You can use only one connection on the Auxiliar y
por t. 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 Communications, Inc. (www.farallon.com). 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 obser ve Farallon’s recommendations governing maximum cable lengths and limits on the number of
nodes on a PhoneNET network. The dual RJ-11 PhoneNET connector allows inser tion 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.
