Internet Router: Correction to Administrator‘s Guide



On page 129, of the AppleTalk Internet Router Administrator's Guide, (Appendix
A: Planning an AppleTalk Internet, Figure A-8) it appears that the cable
segments are LocalTalk (printer is on the same cable segment) and the
workstations are all LocalTalk.

How do you get workstations and printers physically connected to the router via
LocalTalk to be in separate zones as the picture describes?

How do you build a work group consisting of a few LocalTalk users, LocalTalk
printers, and some EtherTalk users in one zone?

The only workstation zone selectable under the Apple-Control Panel-Network is
for EtherTalk and TokenTalk? Is this correct? Is the zone for the LocalTalk
printers always the single LocalTalk zone name?

The diagram on page 129 of the "AppleTalk Internet Router Administrator's
Guide" is misleading. A LocalTalk network can be associated with only one
zone. This is the same as it was with AppleTalk Phase 1.

With AppleTalk Phase 2, any node on an AppleTalk network (other than LocalTalk)
can belong to any zone selected from a list of available zone names. This
would include EtherTalk 2.0 and TokenTalk 2.0. More information on this is on
page 4 of the "AppleTalk Phase 2 Introduction and Upgrade Guide".
