Black Box LRA005A-R2, LRS002A-R2 This configuration requires NetWare IPX protocol on your LAN

ASYNC ROUTER AR-P, AR-5, AND SYNC ROUTER USER’S MANUAL

NOTE

This configuration requires NetWare IPX protocol on your LAN.

Before you can configure the Router with an IBM-compatible personal computer using the RouterVu utility (provided by us), you must use the setaddr utility to set an IPX network number and Ethernet frame type on the Router’s boot diskette.

To use setaddr or RouterVu, your PC must read and write 3.5-inch, 1.44-MB DOS diskettes. When using RouterVu to configure the Router, your PC must reside on the same Ethernet LAN as the Router.

The PC operating with RouterVu should only be used by the system administrator when installing, maintaining or debugging the Router or its network connections.

The PC operating with RouterVu should not be used by users to gain access to local or remote networks. This method of access is illegal.

Procedure

1.Start your DOS-based PC.

2.Insert the Router boot diskette into the PC’s diskette drive. We assume you’re using the a: drive.

If you’re using the b: drive, substitute b: for a:.

3.Enter, for example:

a:\stacker a: <RETURN>

a:setaddr <RETURN>

4. The setaddr utility asks you whether you will be using IPX or IP addresses for telnet.

The Router must have an IP or IPX address before you can access it. This program will set up the initial addresses for your Router.

For IPX addresses on a NetWare network enter 1

For IP addresses on a TCP/IP network enter 2

What kind of addresses will you use (1) or (2) ?

Enter 1, and press the RETURN key.

5. Setaddr prompts you for the Router IPX network number.

The IPX network number is the number assigned to the Ethernet segment attached to a NetWare server. This information is in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file on the NetWare server that will be on the same Ethernet segment as the Router.

The number is in hexadecimal format.

What is the network number of the ethernet segment to which the Router will be attached ?

Enter your designated IPX network number in hexadecimal format, and press the RETURN key.
