on your NetWare server.

NOTE:

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, 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.

2. Click Maintenance, and then click Remote Desktop.

3. Log in to the NAS system as an administrator.

NOTE:

The default administrative user name is administrator and the default password is powervault.

4. Right-click Network Places on the NAS system's desktop, and then click Properties.

5. In the Network Connections window, right-click the network adapter used by the NAS system and select Properties.

6. In the Local Area Connection Properties 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, enter a network number for the IPX network, and then

click OK.

10. Click OK.

11. Click OK to close the Local Area Connection window.

12. Close the Network and Dial-Up Connections window.

The IPX protocol is now configured on the NAS system to manually detect frame types.
