IPX Interface Conﬁguration

Service Type

This Þeld is a SAP Service Type code. Some common types are:

0003	= print queue	0007	= print server
0004	= Þle server	0009	= archive server
0005	= job server	0024	= remote bridge server

Service Name

IdentiÞes a speciÞc server in the IPX network. Enter a name of 1-48 characters; the default value of this parameter is * (asterisk), a wildcard character.

Network Address

This is an IPX network number assigned to the network containing the server identiÞed by Service Name.

Node Address

This address identiÞes the IPX node attached to the server network.

Socket Number

The IPX socket number that identiÞes the process. For example, the SAP process is 0452. The default value for this parameter is 0.

Intervening Networks

The number of routers that a packet must pass through to reach the server, if this route is used. The default value for this parameter is 1.

Gateway Address

The hex value of the node address of the router that will forward a packet when this route is used. If NovellÕs IPXWAN protocol is used on the interface (as conÞgured in the IPX Interface ConÞguration window; see page 10-2), this Þeld is ignored.

Interface

This is the IPX network number assigned to the interface used to send packets that are destined for this server.

First, access the IPX Static SAP ConÞguration window (see IPX Static SAP

ConÞguration, page 10-10).
