Configuring ARA connections
Figure 4-12. An ARA connection enabling IP access
Note: If you do not require IP access, the Connection profile does not need IP routing and the
Macintosh client does not need a TCP/IP configuration. For ARA connections that support IP
access, the unit receives IP packets encapsulated in AppleTalk’s DDP protocol. It removes the
DDP headers and routes the IP packets normally.
Configure the Macintosh ARA Client software as follows:
• Set the appropriate modem parameters in the ARA Client software to enable the user’s
asynchronous modem to establish a connection with the unit.
• Specify the dial-in number in the ARA Client software.
Configure the Macintosh TCP/IP software as follows:
1 Configure Open Transport.
The TCP/IP Control Panel has an option to connect by using MacIP. DDP-IP
encapsulation requires MacIP. This Control Panel also has an option to configure its IP
address manually, via BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP. If you assign the Macintosh a permanent
IP address, choose Manually. If the unit assigns an address to the Macintosh from a pool
of allocated addresses, choose BOOTP.
2 Configure MacTCP.
The MacTCP Control Panel should have an icon for ARA. That icon must be selected for
DDP-IP encapsulation. This Control Panel also has an option to configure its IP address
manually or from a server. If you assign the Macintosh a permanent IP address, choose
Manually. If the unit assigns an address from a server, choose Server. Do not choose
Dynamically in the MacTCP Control Panel. The unit does not support Dynamically.
Note: The MAX unit must be configured as an IP router. At a minimum, the unit’s Ethernet
interface should be configured with an IP address and a DNS server address. If the ARA client
obtains an IP address from the server, you must also configure the unit for dynamic IP address
assignment. (For more information, see Chapter 9, “Configuring IP Routing.”)
If you configure the unit for IP routing (in the Ethernet profile), you can configure an ARA
connection that enables IP access, as in the following example:
1 Open the Ethernet > Mod Config profile and set the AppleTalk parameter to Yes.
2 If applicable, specify the AppleTalk zone in which the unit resides.

Appletalk=Yes
AppleTalk
Zone Name=Engineering
3 Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
