    How do I install Internet Router 2.0 on a Macintosh running System 7?

DISCUSSION

    Important Note: Internet Router 2.0 is not compatible with System Software 7.1. Computers running System Software 7.1 require the Apple Internet Router 3.0 Basic Connectivity Package.

    If you are running a system software version prior to 7.1, then there are two ways to correctly install the AppleTalk Internet Router (AIR) 2.0 Macintosh running System 7.

    The best and easiest way to install the AIR 2.0 on a System 7 Macintosh is to use the latest Network Software Installer (NSI) disk. To do this, run the Installer and select the "Customize" option. Select the "AppleTalk Router (v 2.0) for System 7" option and install. The installer will ask for the AIR 2.0 disk and properly install the software.

    The second method is to manually install the files from the AIR 2.0 disk. Here is the installation procedure as found on page 100 of the "System 7 Group Upgrade Guide":

    Step One

    Install System 7 along with EtherTalk or TokenTalk.

    Step Two

    Insert the AppleTalk Internet Router 2.0 disk.

    Step Three

    Open the System file on the router disk. The System window lists desk accessories and fonts.

    Step Four

    Drag the Router desk accessory to the System Folder icon on your System 7 hard disk. A dialog asks "Put this desk accessory into the Apple Menu Items folder?"

    Step Five

    Click OK.

    Step Six

    Close the System window.

    Step Seven

    From the AppleTalk Internet Router 2.0 disk's System Folder, drag the following files to your System Folder:
    • LocalTalk (Modem)
    • LocalTalk (Built-in)
    • Router

    A dialog asks, "Put these items into the places they belong?"

    Step Eight

    Click OK.

    Step Nine

    Restart your Macintosh computer.
