Configuring a Synchronous WAN Port

Configuring WAN Port Settings

To set the destination IP address for a leased-line connection only, use the following
command:

Command> set W1 destination Ipaddress [Ipmask]

Setting the Subnet Mask

The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. If you have divided your network into
subnets, enter the subnet mask that identifies how your network addresses are divided
between the network portion and the host portion. The value of Ipmask is dependent
upon the size of the IP subnet of which the IP address is a member. This setting is used
on network hardwired ports only.

To set the subnet mask, use the following command:

Command> set W1 netmask Ipmask

See Appendix A, “Networking Concepts,” for more information about using subnet
masks.

Setting the IPX Network Address

When using IPX, you must identify an IPX network number of the serial link that is
unique from every other IPX number on the network. An IPX network address is
entered in hexadecimal format, as described in Appendix A, “Networking Concepts.”

Note – The serial link itself must have an IPX network number that is different from
those at either end of the connection.

To set the IPX network address, use the following command:

Command> set W1 ipxnet Ipxnetwork

Configuring RIP Routing

As described in the PortMaster Routing Guide, PortMaster products automatically send and
accept route information as RIP messages.

Turn on RIP routing for the port for network hardwired connections only such as leased
lines or Frame Relay. Routing is set in the user table for dial-in connections and in the
location table for dial-out connections.
