Apple Internet Router 3.0.1 Basic Connectivity Package Read Me

Version 3.0.1 Bug Fixes:

	 An incompatibility between the SNMP Router Agent and Shared Library Manager 1.1 has been fixed.
	 An incompatibility between the DialUp access method and Apple Remote Access has been fixed.

Customized Installations:

	 The Customize installation screen differs from the one shown in Chapter 2 of the Apple Internet Router Administrators Guide.  The following additional items appear when you click Customize during the installation process:
AppleTalk v58.0 for System 7Select this item if you do not already have AppleTalk version 58.0 or later installed on your Macintosh.
Half-Routing ResourcesSelect this item if you do not already have AppleTalk Remote Access or Apple Remote Access installed on your Macintosh.

	 If you are doing a customized installation of the router, be sure to install AppleTalk version 58.0 unless you already have a later version installed.

Using Memory Efficiently:

  To ensure that the router has sufficient memory, you should start the router before starting other application programs (including file or print servers).

  When the router fails to start because it does not have enough memory, you may see an on-screen message that does not necessarily indicate that insufficient memory is the problem.  For instance, you may see the message The router was unable to start because an error occurred while installing an AppleTalk connection driver for a configured port.

The Apple Internet Router requires a Macintosh computer with at least 4 megabytes of memory installed.  To run other applications concurrently, you may need to install more memory in the router Macintosh.

  If you install System 7.1 and do not reinstall the router, you may get a message indicating that there is not enough memory for the router to start.  You must reinstall the router software after installing System 7.1.

Upgrading from Version 2.0 of the AppleTalk Internet Router:

  The message Version 2.0 of the Router can not run.  It is no longer installed. appears whenever you restart the router Macintosh if version 2.0 of the AppleTalk Internet Router was running on the Macintosh computer on which you installed the Apple Internet Router Basic Connectivity Package and you did not do the following prior to the installation: 

1.  Open the Router desk accessory by choosing Router from the Apple menu.

2.  If necessary, open the Router Setup window by choosing Router Setup from the Router menu.

3.  Click the Current Status Off button to stop the Router.

4.  Click the Restart Status Off button to prevent the Router from starting when you start up the router Macintosh.

5.  Close the Router Setup window.

6.  Click Yes to save your changes to the Router Setup.

Though version 2.0 of the AppleTalk Internet Router cannot run, the newly installed Apple Internet Router will function properly.

To prevent this message from appearing whenever you restart the router Macintosh,  start the router Macintosh using a startup disk on which version 2.0 of the AppleTalk Internet Router is installed, then follow the preceding steps.  Once youve set the routers restart status to Off, the message no longer appears.

Installing the Router on Non-U.S. Systems:

  If you do an Easy Install, the appropriate modem scripts for your country are installed.  If the Installer is unable to determine which foreign system you are using, the U.S. modem scripts are installed by default.

  If you do a customized installation, the U.S. modem scripts are installed automatically.  However, you can install the modem scripts that are appropriate for your country by using the international modem scripts on the Router Installer 2 disk.  To install international modem scripts, follow these instructions:

1.  Open the Dial Up folder on the Router Installer 2 disk.

2.  Open the International Modem Scripts folder.

3.  Open the folder with your countrys name and drag the files in it to the Extensions folder on the router Macintosh.

  We recommend that you do an Easy Install of the router software on a Macintosh on which a version of the system software other than an English-language version is installed.  During the installation, a message may appear, requesting you to use the Network Software Installer disk to place the latest version of AppleTalk on the startup disk. If this message appears, quit the Installer, then use the Network Software Installer to install the latest version of AppleTalk. Once you have done so, you can use the Router Installer disks to install the router software by clicking Install when the Easy Install dialog box appears. Following this procedure ensures that the versions of the AppleTalk system files installed use the correct language.

  During a custom installation, a message appears, warning you that continuing the installation replaces local-language versions of some AppleTalk system files (such as the Network control panel, AppleTalk, and EtherTalk) with English-language versions. If you click Continue, the installation will replace only files that have the same names as the files being installed. Thus, there may be two different versions of some AppleTalk system files on the startup diska local-language version and an English version. If you click Cancel, a message appears, informing you that an error has occurred during installation and the software on the startup disk was not changed.
