Services for the Novell NetWare Operating System

Services for NetWare (SFN) are compatible with Novell® NetWare® Bindery service for authentication and file access using the

internetwork packet exchange/sequenced packet exchange (IPX/SPX) network protocol. Services for NetWare are disabled by

default.

For information about enabling SFN, see the file install.rtf, which is located in the c:\sfn\fpnw directory of your NAS system.

NOTE:

SFN is not installed by default.

Configuring the NWLink IPX/SPX Compatible Protocol

To configure this protocol, you need the internal network number, frame type, and network number.

Internal Network Number

Internal network numbers are used for internal routing and are generally needed only for servers. You should not need to

change this option on your system.

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, the automatic detection feature occasionally 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
