Command Reference 10-17

IP Address

This command is used to tell the NETServer what IP address
will be used by the remote device. The default is 0.0.0.0., which
disables the port for TCP/IP connections using PPP. Use the
following command.

set location <location name> destination <IP address>

PPP links:

If the IP Destination is set to 255.255.255.255, the

NETServer will try to negotiate or learn the location’s IP
address. This will work only with manual and continuous
connection types. On-demand locations require a specified IP
address (to know when to dial).

Netmask

This is the IP subnet mask for the remote location. It will be
used to determine the network and host portions of the address
given above. The default is 255.255.255.0, which would be
appropriate for a Class C network with no subnetting or for
Class C size subnets of larger networks. You must change this
value if the remote location is using a different subnet mask.
Use the following command:

set location <location name> netmask <netmask>

IPX Network

While a dial connection is up, it acts like a virtual network
segment to which both the NETServer and the remote location
are attached. This is the IPX network number that will be
assigned to that virtual network segment. It is not the number of
a physical cable on either network.

The IPX network number must be unique on both the remote
and local networks; that is, no device or service may be using
that exact network number. Use the following command:

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