4-10CHAPTER 4: NOVELL IPX AND BRIDGING

Configuring the Remote Unit

Assign the Unit Name

1Enter CO SYS to display the System Parameters screen.

2Type the name assigned to the unit in the Unit Name field. The name must be exactly the same as that used to configure the central site unit ISDN Numbers table.

Unit names are case-sensitive and must be entered correctly.

3Press [Ctrl]+[E] to submit the new setting and then enter SAVE

Configure the Ethernet Port

A unique port IP address and the network subnet mask are required for the Ethernet port (for management of the unit, even if the network is always entirely connected within a non-IP Netware environment).

Changing the IP address during the remote management session causes the session to be disconnected when the new IP address is submitted. This is normal.

1Enter CO PO to display the Port Configuration screen.

2Select the LAN1 port using the Arrow keys and enter ED to display the Edit Ethernet Port screen.

3Type a valid, unique IP address for the unit in the Port IP Address field. Do not type the network IP address.

4Type a valid subnet mask for the network in the Port IP Mask field.

5Type the IPX network number in the Port IPX Network field. This must be the same number as the central site LAN or LAN segment, or IPX and bridging will not work.

6Use the Spacebar to toggle the setting of the IPX Frame Type field to the correct frame type for the network.

The frame type must be correct for the network environment in which the unit is operating. If the frame type is not correct, the unit will not pass data. Contact the network administrator for more information about the frame type used.
