IPX Protocol

Required for IPX

There are generally no required changes from the shipping Ethernet configuration for IPX. The Ethernet interface will autoconfigure to use the two most common IPX frame types, and will autoadapt to condi- tions on the Ethernet.

Suggested for IPX

You may want to set your own network numbers, rather than using the autoconfigured values. You may also want to turn off unused frame types.

CV: Use the IPX Routing: Ethernet 0 Dialog Box.

TB: Use configure and set keywords in the IPX Ethernet 0 section.

WAN Interface Configuration

In order to use a WAN interface, you may first need to set some phys- ical parameters and then set up the link and protocol parameters.

There are a few differences between the capabilities of the V.35 WAN interface and the RS-232 WAN interface. The V.35 interface can only be run synchronously, at rates up to 2 Mbps per second. The RS-232 interface can be run synchronously or asynchronously, at rates up to 256Kbps (sync) or 230.4Kbps (async).

Physical Communications Settings

You may need to set the baud rate, sync/async operation, and other physical communications parameters for the WAN interface. These parameters will depend on the line communications device you are using.

Note: Frame Relay and SMDS are presently supported in the vMicroRouter 1200i only via synchronous operation. An external clock signal is generated for Frame Relay.

CV: Use the Physical Configuration: WAN Dialog Box.

TB: Use configure and set the LinkType keyword or other keywords in the RS232 Interface WAN 0 (and/or WAN 1) section.
