Hardwired Port Parameters
The parameters described below apply to port s0 if it has been configured as network hardwired.
Compression
This indicates whether Van Jacobson TCP/IP header compres- sion is enabled (on) or disabled (off). The default is off. Use the following command:
set s0 compression <on off>
IP Address
This is the IP address of the remote system. Use the following command:
set s0 address <IP address>
If the destination is set to 255.255.255.255 for PPP connections, the NETServer will try to learn the remote system’s IP Address. If set to 0.0.0.0, the port will be disabled for PPP connections.
IPX Network Number
This is the IPX network number of the serial cable connecting the NETServer to the other device. Note that the IPX network number must be unique to the networks on both ends of the serial connection. Use the following command for IPX:
set s0 ipxnet <IPX network number>
MTU
This is the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) used for the connection to the remote location. MTU sets the largest frame or packet size that a connection protocol will send. If an IP packet’s size is greater than the MTU setting, it’s broken down into smaller pieces. IPX packets larger than the MTU are discarded. Use the following command:
set s0 mtu <value>
IPX connections require an MTU of 1500.
