IPX Procedure
15 A series of four default dialog boxes, RouteFinder 100 - Novell IPX Protocol Default Setup, RouteFinder 100 -
IP Protocol Default Setup, RouteFinder 100 - WAN Default Setup, and RouteFinder 100 - Frame Relay DLCI
Default Setup will be displayed.
If your network protocol is IPX, continue with the following steps. If frame relay is being used as the WAN
and is being connected to an IPX network, continue with the following steps.
If your network protocol is IP, click on IPX Routing Enable check box to disable IPX, then click on the OK
button, and proceed to step 27. If frame realy is being used as the WAN and is being connected to an IP
network, proceed to step 27.
16 You can use the default Router Name or you can assign a new Router Name in this field. If you assign a
new Router Name, it must be printable ASCII string of a maximum of 47 characters. The router name is
used by the RouteFinder
100 to advertise its service in the IPX inter-network.
17 You can enable Auto Learn Network Numbers from the default Yes or you can manually assign the
network numbers by clicking on No in the Auto Learn Network Numbers field.
If no file server is connected to the Ehternet segment, then this field should be No (recommended).
If you enable Auto Learn (Yes), the RouteFinder 100 will learn the IPX network numbers from the file server.
If you select No for Auto Learn, you can manually assign network numbers. When manually assigning
network numbers, you must make sure they match the network numbers assigned for the file server.
18 Enter WAN network number for the active WAN Port by clicking on the Network Number box and back
spacing through the default number and entering your new WAN Number. Also, the WAN network
number must be the same network as the RouteFinder
100 on the other end of the link.
The WAN network numbers have to be assigned by the Network Administrator and must be unique
throughout the entire inter-network.
Note: The WAN ports do not have the capability of learning the network numbers unlike the LAN ports
(i.e., the WAN port does not have a file server).
19 Record the network numbers assigned by the network file server for each of the four frame types (Raw
(802.3), LLC (802.2), EthernetII (Type II), SNAP) for LAN 1 in the space provided in Figure 4-1.
