1.0 INTRODUCTION
================

    This is an update release of NetWare APPLETLK.NLM 4.50c for the following
    NetWare products:

    - NetWare for Macintosh 3.11
    - NetWare for Macintosh 3.12
    - NetWare for Macintosh 4.01


=====================================================================
2.0 CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
=============================


  1. Configure APPLETLK.NLM 4.50c for a TokenTalk* network with Macintosh
     computers and source routing bridges.

     When you have Macintosh computers and source routing bridges in the
   TokenTalk* network, you must add the LOAD and BIND commands listed below
   to the SYS:\SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.NCF file for APPLETLK 4.50c to support the
   Macintosh computers correctly. Do this for each of the source routing
   token ring networks attached to APPLETLK.

     Please note that if the token ring board is already loaded with the
   token-ring frame for use by another protocol (such as IPX(tm)), you DO NOT
   need to load the same token ring board again with a tokenring frame for
   APPLETLK 4.50c. Simply bind APPLETLK 4.50c to the tokenring frame
   board as described below.

   # *** this is a comment ***
   # Load the token ring board with a token-ring frame
   #
   # Skip this LOAD command if you already have a similar line in your
   # AUTOEXEC.NCF file that loads the token ring board with a token-ring frame.

   load token int=2 saps=4 ls=32 frame=token-ring name=token_tok


   # For APPLETLK 4.50c to bind to one or more token-ring frame boards, 
   # you need to load LLC8022.NLM only once.

   load llc8022


   # Bind APPLETLK to the token-ring frame board to support Macintosh
   # computers in a source routing token ring network. 

   bind appletlk to token_tok

   

   Example of the original Appletalk* configuration:

   # Load the token ring board with token ring snap frame for TokenTalk.

   load token int=2 saps=4 ls=32 frame=token-ring_snap name=token_snap
   load appletlk net=50001 zone={"production"}
   bind appletlk token_snap net=211-215 zone={"Building 1"}

   
   Example of the APPLETALK configuration after the modification:

   # Load the token ring board with token ring snap frame for TokenTalk.

   load token int=2 saps=4 ls=32 frame=token-ring_snap name=token_snap
   load appletlk net=50001 zone={"production"}
   bind appletlk token_snap net=211-215 zone={"Building 1"}

   # Load the token ring board with a token ring frame.

   load token int=2 saps=4 ls=32 frame=token-ring name=token_tok
   load llc8022
   bind appletlk to token_tok


 2.  APPLETLK.NLM 4.50c does not allow for space between the parameter keyword 
   and the parameter value in the LOAD and BIND command parameters.
   If you are installing this update on a NetWare 3.12 servers, you must 
   check the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, and remove the spaces from the APPLETLK
   LOAD and BIND command line parameters.

   For example, you must modify the following LOAD and BIND commands:
   
     load appletlk net = 50001 zone = {"production"}
     bind appletlk net = 0-0

   to
   
     load appletlk net=50001 zone={"production"}
     bind appletlk net=0-0
   
  
 3.  If you are installing this update on a NetWare 3.12 server, remove
   all commands to load and bind ATTOKLLC from the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
   ATTOKLLC is not supported in APPLETLK.NLM 4.5. You should use LLC8022.NLM
   and bind APPLETLK to all the token-ring frame boards that ATTOKLLC used
   to bind to. Read section 2.1, "Configuring APPLETLK in a TokenTalk
   network with Macintosh computers and source routing bridges."


 4.  If this update is used with LocalTalk, make sure you are using
   Dayna Communications LocalTalk driver version 3.18 or later.
   Contact Dayna Communications Technical Support at (801) 972-2000.  
   
   NOTE: If you are installing this update on a NetWare 3.12 server, 
   an upgraded Dayna Communications LocalTalk driver should already 
   be installed onto your server, along with NetWare 3.12.


=====================================================================
3.0 KNOWN PROBLEMS AND ISSUES
=============================

 1. APPLETLK.NLM 4.50c provides MIB II, RFC 1243, network management 
    information.  The MIB path for accessing AppleTalk (R) MIB information 
    is as follows: .1.3.6.1.2.1.13.

 2. Do not install this upgrade if you are running NetWare MultiProtocol
    Router(tm) WAN Links 2.0 or greater.

 3. APPLETLK.NLM 4.50c includes fixes for the following problems:


   a)  All bug fixes in APPLETLK.NLM 3.06, 3.07b, 3.07e and 3.65 are
       included in this update.

   b)  The performance problem of AppleTalk Datastream Protocol in NetWare
       for Macintosh 3.x.

   c)  APPLETLK.NLM 4.0, in NetWare for Macintosh 4.01, does not support 
       the Macintosh computers correctly in a token ring network with source 
       routing bridges.

   d)  In a token ring network with a source routing bridge, NetWare for 
       Macintosh 3.12 requires ATTOKLLC.NLM for APPLETLK.NLM to support 
       Macintoshes correctly. APPLETLK 4.5 does not require ATTOKLLC.NLM.
       Instead, APPLETLK 4.5 uses the NetWare file LLC8022.NLM, as does 
       NetWare for Macintosh 4.01.

   e)  A problem with the Printer Access Protocol (PAP) exists in NetWare 
       for Macintosh 3.x that causes APPLETLK 3.x to fail to connect to 
       some printers (such as LaserWriter* 810), thus failing to serve 
       the print job.

   f)  APPLETLK.NLM 3.06 causes the NetWare server to fail when it tries to
       free a STREAMS message for the second time.
