[MS_AppleTalk parameters]
The [MS_AppleTalk parameters] section contains entries for configuring AppleTalk.
This section can be used only with the [Networking] section.
Answer File Entries for the [ MS_AppleTalk parameters ] Section
Entry | Description |
---|---|
DefaultPort |
Specifies the network on which you register the Services for Macintosh service names. |
DefaultZone |
Specifies the default zone for the network if the network adapter is seeding the network. |
DesiredZone |
Specifies the zone in which the Services for Macintosh service is present. |
EnableRouter |
Specifies whether to start routing for the AppleTalk protocol on this computer. |
NetworkRangeLowerEnd |
Specifies the lower network number of the network range if the network adapter is seeding the network. |
NetworkRangeUpperEnd |
Specifies the upper network number of the network range if the network adapter is seeding the network. |
SeedingNetwork |
Specifies whether the computer is a seed router for a physical AppleTalk network segment. |
ZoneList |
Specifies the list of zones with which to seed the network. |
DefaultPort
Specifies the network adapter on which you register the Services for Macintosh service names.
Syntax
DefaultPort = adapter name
Value | Description |
---|---|
adapter name |
Network adapter name. |
Example
[Networking]
[MS_AppleTalk parameters]
DefaultPort = PCI\VEN_10B7&DEV_5900\1&5070
Comments
If the AppleTalk protocol is not routing, only Macintosh workstations connected to this network can access the file and print services on the computer. Normally, the default port is automatically set to the first Ethernet adapter, Token Ring adapter, or LocalTalk adapter found on the computer (in that order).
DefaultZone
Specifies the default zone for the network if the network adapter is seeding the network.
Syntax
DefaultZone = zone name
Value | Description |
---|---|
zone name |
DNS zone name. |
Example
[Networking]
[MS_AppleTalk parameters]
DefaultZone = Zone2
Comments
None.
DesiredZone
Specifies the zone in which the Services for Macintosh service is present.
Syntax
DesiredZone = zone name
Value | Description |
---|---|
zone name |
DNS zone name. |
Example
[Networking]
[MS_AppleTalk parameters]
DesiredZone = Zone1
Comments
If this value is not set, the Services for Macintosh service for the default zone on that network is used.
EnableRouter
Specifies whether to start routing for the AppleTalk protocol on this computer.
Syntax
EnableRouter = Yes | No
Value | Description |
---|---|
Yes |
Starts routing for the AppleTalk protocol. |
No |
Does not start routing for the AppleTalk protocol. |
Example
[Networking]
[MS_AppleTalk parameters]
EnableRouter = No
Comments
If routing starts, Macintosh workstations connected to any networks that the computer is on can use the file and print servers for Macintosh.
Note
- The remaining entries in this section are network adapter–specific. Therefore, you can use them only in an [MS_AppleTalk parameters] section where you specify the SpecificTo parameter. For more information, see the SpecificTo entry in the section “[adapter_specific_protocol_section].”
NetworkRangeLowerEnd
Specifies the lower network number of the network range if the network adapter is seeding the network.
Syntax
NetworkRangeLowerEnd = integer from 1 to 65279
Value | Description |
---|---|
integer from 1 to 65279 |
Integer. |
Example
[Networking]
[MS_AppleTalk parameters]
NetworkRangeLowerEnd = 3
Comments
None.
NetworkRangeUpperEnd
Specifies the upper network number of the network range if the network adapter is seeding the network.
Syntax
NetworkRangeUpperEnd = integer from 1 to 65279
Value | Description |
---|---|
integer from 1 to 65279 |
Integer. |
Example
[Networking]
[MS_AppleTalk parameters]
NetworkRangeUpperEnd = 33
Comments
None.
SeedingNetwork
Specifies whether the computer is a seed router for a physical AppleTalk network segment.
Syntax
SeedingNetwork = 0 | 1
Value | Description |
---|---|
0 |
Does not seed the network and ignores seeding information. |
1 |
Reads all seeding information and seeds the network to provide the network address to clients, servers, or other routers on the AppleTalk network. |
Example
[Networking]
[MS_AppleTalk parameters]
SeedingNetwork = 1
Comments
The default value is 0.
When specifying the entry SeedingNetwork = 0
for a computer acting as a router on an AppleTalk network, you must supply another router that seeds the network in order to start the first router.
ZoneList
Specifies the list of zones with which to seed the network.
Syntax
ZoneList = Zone name[, Zone name, ...]
Value | Description |
---|---|
Zone_name |
DNS zone name. |
Example
[Networking]
[MS_AppleTalk parameters]
ZoneList = Zone1, Zone2
Comments
This entry is valid only if the network adapter is seeding the network.
