Manual (Used for debugging) The NETServer dials out only when it receives a dial command from the command line.

Continuous The NETServer will attempt to maintain the connection at all times. If the connection is broken it will dial again.

Example:

set location Atlanta on_demand

Protocol

Select the protocol to be used for the connection (PPP or SLIP). Use the following command:

set location <location name> protocol <ppp slip>

IPX LAN-to-LAN routing requires the PPP protocol. If you have assigned an IPX Network Number, the NETServer will select PPP automatically.

IP Address

This is the remote device’s IP address.

set location <location name> destination <IP address>

If the connection will use PPP and the location has been config- ured as Manual or Continuous, the IP address can be set to 255.255.255.255, which tells the NETServer to learn the IP address of the remote system using IPCP address negotiation.

IPX Network

This is the unique IPX network number that the NETServer and the remote device will share for the duration of the connection. It does not designate a physical network cable. This network number refers to the dial up connection itself. Use the following command:

set location <location name> ipxnet <IPX network #>

LAN-to-LAN Routing 6-15
