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 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 Terminal Services.

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