Scenarios 287
To assist users at Southwest Routing in distinguishing between different AppleTalk services,
you can associate an AppleTalk address with a descriptive name using NBP. Each service can
register an NBP object name and object type within a zone. For example, a deskjet printer could
be registered as Southwest:LaserWriter@engineering, where Southwest is the object name,
LaserWriter is the object type, and engineering is the zone name. Each of the object, type, and
zone fields are limited to 32 characters in length. A Macintosh user at Southwest Routing should
not encounter object and zone names. The Chooser takes care of looking up NBP types and
mapping the results to AppleTalk addresses.
