Router Interfaces Window
After you configure the router, you should use ATCON to check that the configuration is the one you expect. To check the network interfaces configured in the router, use the arrow keys to select View Router Interfaces in the main ATCON menu, and then press <Enter>.

Router Interfaces Window
The fields in the window show the information in Table 37.
Table 37. Information about Router Interfaces
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
Network & Address |
These two fields show the AppleTalk network number and the node address of the router on a given network interface. On the internal network, the router's node number is always 2. It is possible for the router's address on external interfaces to change when you bring up the file server, because the router acquires the address dynamically. |
Port |
The AppleTalk port number is the interface between the router and an AppleTalk network. Port 0 is associated with the internal network. The first AppleTalk BIND command line in the router's configuration is associated with Port 1, the second AppleTalk BIND command line is associated with Port 2, and so forth. |
Type |
The Type field indicates the type of AppleTalk network associated with a given port. The possible values for Type include: ETalk1 (EtherTalk 1.0) ETalk2 (EtherTalk 2.0) TTalk (TokenTalk) LTalk (LocalTalk) Internal (the internal network). |
Zone(s) |
The Zone(s) field indicates the zone configuration for a given interface. If you configured more than one zone on a Phase 2 network, the zones list is arranged vertically in line with the network number. The first zone in the list is the default zone. (See What Is the Phase 2 Default Zone? for the implications of a default zone.) |
