Handle IPX Field

Description

(Menu 3.5)

 

 

 

 

 

None

 

When there is no IPX traffic on the LAN or when you do not want to apply

 

 

any special handling for IPX.

 

 

 

Client

 

When there are only client workstations on the LAN. RIP and SAP (Service

 

 

Advertising Protocol) response packets will not trigger calls.

 

 

 

Server

 

When there are only IPX servers on the LAN. No RIP or SAP packets will

 

 

trigger calls. In addition, during the time when the line is down, your Prestige

 

 

will reply to watchdog messages from the servers on behalf of remote clients.

 

 

The period of time that your Prestige will do this is linked to the [Ethernet

 

 

Address Timeout] parameter in each remote node (see Remote Node

 

 

Configuration). When a remote Ethernet address is aged out, there is no

 

 

need to maintain its connection to the IPX server.

 

 

 

If there are both clients and servers on the LAN, and the local clients will access the remote servers, set this field to Server but turn on the Dial-On-Broadcastparameter in Menu 11.3 to allow the client queries to trigger calls.
