Apple IP (AppleShare IP) Gateway - Manual (Page 13)

How the gateway can be used
Depending on the type of AppleTalk network you are working with and the
needs of your network users, you can run the gateway as a stand-alone
product, or you can use the software in conjunction with either the Apple
Internet Router or an Apple Remote Access Personal or MultiPort Server.
Using these options is covered in detail in Chapter 3, “Operating and
Monitoring the Apple IP Gateway.” The descriptions that follow give you an
idea of overall functionality.
Using the gateway as a stand-alone product
When the Apple IP Gateway is installed on a Macintosh computer that is
properly connected to both an IP and an AppleTalk network, any Macintosh
computer on the AppleTalk network can access the IP internet through the
gateway. All that is necessary is that the client computer have both MacTCP
and any appropriate IP software installed.
Using the gateway with the Apple Internet Router
If the gateway is installed on a Macintosh computer that is also running the
Apple Internet Router software, the gateway’s power is greatly expanded. Now
any Macintosh computer on any AppleTalk network that is part of the router’s
internet can use the Apple IP Gateway to access the IP network. Figure 2
shows how the router works with the gateway.
