Configuring IPX Frame Types

On IPX/SPX protocol networks (for example, Novell NetWare), the format of the network communication frames must be specified for the machine. In most cases, you can keep the “Auto” default setting. However, you can manually set the frame type format, if required.

Off: The IPX/SPX protocol is disabled.

Auto (default): Automatically senses and limits the frame type to the first one detected.

Enable 802.3: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.3 frames. All others will be discarded.

Ethernet II: Limits the frame type to IPX over Ethernet Frames. All others will be discarded.

Enable 802.2: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.2 with IEEE 802.3 frames. All others will be discarded.

Enable SNAP: Limits the frame type to IPX over SNAP with IEEE 802.3 frames. All others will be discarded.

Take the following steps to change the frame type format:

1Press Menu until you see “Network Setup” on the top line of the display.

2Press the scroll button ( or ) until “Config Network” displays on the bottom line.

3Press Enter to access the menu.

4Press the scroll button ( or ) until “NetWare” displays on the bottom line. Press Enter.

The first available menu item, “Off,” displays on the bottom line.

5Press the scroll button ( or ) until you see the desired frame type and press Enter.

6Press the Stop/Clear to return to Standby mode.
