It is impor tant to set the Netopia R5000 Series  Router’s seeding action to work best in your par ticular network 
environment. These scenarios may guide you in deciding how to set the router’s seeding:

■

If the Netopia R5000 Series Router is the only router on your network, you must set it to either hard 
seeding or soft seeding. The default is soft seeding.

■

If there is another active router on your network and you want that router to configure the Netopia R5000 
Series Router’s EtherTalk or LocalTalk parameters, you can set the Netopia R5000 Series to non-seeding. 

■

If there is another active router on your network, you could set the Netopia R5000 Series to be soft 
seeding if you are unsure whether the second router will always be available to configure the Netopia 
R5000 Series Router’s EtherTalk or LocalTalk parameters. 

■

If you want the Netopia R5000 Series Router to configure the EtherTalk or LocalTalk parameters of other 
routers on your network, you must set it to hard seeding. In this case, the other routers must be soft 
seeding or non-seeding, and the Router must already be active when those other routers are rebooted.

■

If you want the Netopia R5000 Series Router and all other routers on your network to use only their own 
configurations, set the Netopia R5000 Series Router and all other routers to hard seeding. In this case, 
any router (including the Netopia R5000 Series Router) that is rebooted will not begin routing if it detects a 
routing conflict between itself and any other router. This last scenario could be useful for detecting and 
locating routing errors on your network.

The AppleTalk kit consists of hardware and firmware components that you enable on your router in order to 
connect an AppleTalk network. The AppleTalk cable supplied in the AppleTalk feature expansion kit cable 
connects to the Auxiliar y por t on the Netopia R5000 Series Router.

You then enable AppleTalk routing through the console-based management screens.
