Dell PowerVault 715N (Rackmount NAS Appliance) - Manual (Page 88)

Frame Type and Network Number
Frame types define the packet formats that are used by different networks. It is important that all systems in a network
have the same frame type so that they can communicate with the rest of the network.
When you are configuring your system, it attempts to automatically detect the frame type for the client. In most cases,
this is successful. However, occasionally the automatic detection feature selects an inappropriate frame type, usually
because more than one frame type exists on the network. If this happens, you should manually set the frame type to
match the one specified on your NetWare server. Note that if more than one frame type exists, you should select the one
that is detected first. For example, if the frame types Ethernet 802.2 and Ethernet 802.3 are bound to the same segment,
then configure frame type Ethernet 802.2. The order of detection is Ethernet 802.2, Ethernet 802.3, Ethernet II, and then
Ethernet SNAP.
Configuring the IPX Protocol
By default, the IPX protocol is configured on the NAS system to automatically detect frame types. To use the IPX protocol,
you must change your NAS system's IPX properties to manually detect frame types.
To configure the IPX protocol to manually detect frame types, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the NAS Manager.
See " Logging in to the NAS Manager ."
2. Click Maintenance, and then click Terminal Services.
3. Log in to the NAS system as an administrator.
NOTE: The default administrative user name is administrator and the default password is powervault.
The Advanced Administration Menu displays. If it does not display, double-click the Advanced Administration
Menu icon on the desktop of the NAS appliance.
4. Click System Management, and then click Network Properties.
5. In the Network and Dial-up Connections window, right-click the network adapter used by the NAS system and
select Properties.
6. In the Local Area Connection window, click NWLink/IPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol, and click
Properties.
7. In the NWLink/IPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol window, select Manual Frame type detection.
8. Click Add.
9. In the Manual Frame Detection window, select a frame type and enter a network number for the IPX network.
10. Click OK.
11. Click OK to close the Local Area Connection window.
12. Click OK again to close the Network and Dial-Up Connections window.
The IPX protocol is now configured on the NAS system to manually detect frame types.
Microsoft Directory Synchronization Services
Microsoft Directory Synchronization Services (MSDSS) allows you to synchronize a wide variety of data stored in the
Active Directory service with Novell Directory Service (NDS) and NetWare 3.x binderies.
MSDSS is a highly flexible service that helps Novell users to perform the following tasks:
Adopt Windows 2000 Server and the Active Directory service
Reduce directory management through two-way synchronization
