USRobotics NETServer/8 - Manual (Page 89)

LAN-to-LAN Routing 6-15
Manual (Used for debugging) The NETServer dials out
only when it receives a dial command from the
command line.
Continuous The NETServer will attempt to maintain the
connection at all times. If the connection is
broken it will dial again.
Example:
set location Atlanta on_demand
Protocol
Select the protocol to be used for the connection (PPP or SLIP).
Use the following command:
set location <location name> protocol < ppp | slip>
IPX LAN-to-LAN routing requires the PPP protocol. If you have
assigned an IPX Network Number, the NETServer will select
PPP automatically.
IP Address
This is the remote device’s IP address.
set location <location name> destination <IP address>
If the connection will use PPP and the location has been config-
ured as Manual or Continuous, the IP address can be set to
255.255.255.255, which tells the NETServer to learn the IP
address of the remote system using IPCP address negotiation.
IPX Network
This is the unique IPX network number that the NETServer and
the remote device will share for the duration of the connection.
It does not designate a physical network cable. This network
number refers to the dial up connection itself. Use the following
command:
set location <location name> ipxnet <IPX network #>
