Perle 833IS User Guide

IPX Status

IPX Frames RX

Displays the number of IPX frames received by the 833IS. This should increment on
an IPX network as the unit receives IPX broadcasts from the network. If this remains
at 0, there is likely a problem with the configured settings, or you are not running
IPX on your network. The Manager will not connect using IPX unless the 833IS
receives IPX broadcast messages.

IPX Frames TX

Displays the number of IPX frames transmitted by the 833IS. This should increment
as the unit generates and responds to network IPX broadcast messages.

# RIP Entries

Displays the number of entries within the 833IS's IPX RIP table. There will be one
RIP entry for each IPX router detected.

Note that a Novell file server defines an "internal" network within the server itself,
so there will be a RIP entry for each Novell file server. If the number of RIP entries
is 0, no routes or file servers can be seen by the 833IS.

# SAP (Service Advertising Protocol) Entries

Displays the number of entries within the 833IS's IPX SAP table. There will be one
SAP entry for each service advertised. If the number of SAP entries is 0, no servers
can be seen by the 833IS.
