Networks/Servers

Type

This field displays the Hex value assigned to each known server. This field applies only to IPX Servers.

Name

This field displays the first 11 characters of the name of each known server. This field applies only to IPX Servers.

Metric

This field displays the numeric value (of hops) indicating the distance from your Local (LAN) network to the destination network. This field applies only to IP Networks.

Next Gateway

This field displays the MAC Address of the first gateway (Adit or Router) that the data will use to reach the destination network. This field is only used on IP Networks.

Hops

See Metric, above. This field is only used on IPX Networks.

Ticks

This field displays the distance between two networks as measured in time increments (1/18th of a second). This information is only used by IPX Networks. Like hops, ticks may be used to designate primary and secondary routes to the same network. Although both the hops and ticks values are considered when determining routing priority, for Novell networks, the tick value is considered first.

Next IPX Router

This field displays the MAC Address of the next gateway (Adit or Router) that the data will use to reach the destination network. This applies only to IPX Networks.

Frame Type

This field will display the chosen frame type of the packets that are sent and received by the Adit. If a packet is received that is formatted in a frame type that has not been enabled, the Adit will not accept the data. Note that multiple frame types may be supported simultaneously. This field applies only to IPX Networks.
