2.2.1.5. Gateway Requirements
Each "configuration" is divided into two storage areas - an area which stores
the motherboard configuration data and an area which stores the
daughterboard configuration data (the daughterboard is imaginary in the case
of the MultiPort/LT - it refers to the AppleTalk interfaces !). Refer to Figure 2-
13.

Configuration Storage Areas
The motherboard gateway configuration is achieved using the commands
CONFIGURE HOSTNAME and CONFIGURE INTERNET. The data
configured includes the MultiPort/LT's Principal IP Address.
The daughterboard configuration is achieved using the command
CONFIGURE DAUGHTERBOARD (this is an imaginary separation of the
AppleTalk interfaces at the software level). The data configured includes the
addresses of the MultiPort/LT's AppleTalk interfaces.
The MultiPort/LT also requires its ethernet address to be configured. This is
done at the manufacturing plant with the address stored in Flash EPROM and
recorded on a label attached to the rear panel of the case.
