Netopia r9100 User Manual

Select Release BootP Leases and press Return.

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.

The optional Netopia AppleTalk feature enhancement kit provides for this ser vice. A MacIP gateway conver ts 
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 ser ver. 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 ser ving and then configuring that type. KIP 
for warding is simply a method for distributing IP addresses to AppleTalk clients.

■

In the IP Address Ser ving screen, select Serve Mac IP/KIP Clients and toggle to Yes to enable MacIP/KIP 
address ser ving capability. This option is automatically enabled if the AppleTalk kit is installed and IP 
Address Ser ving is enabled.
