Dynamic configuration using MacIP (optional)

If you want to use MacIP to dynamically assign IP addresses to the Macintosh computers on your network you
must install the optional AppleTalk feature set kit.

Note: You cannot use MacIP dynamic configuration to configure your Netopia R910 Ethernet to Ethernet Router
because you must first configure the router in order to enable AppleTalk.

Once the AppleTalk kit is installed, you can configure your Macintoshes for MacIP. To configure dynamically
using MacIP, per form the following:
