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.

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.

NOTE:

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

NOTE:

For the NAS system, the default NetWare supervisor user name is supervisor, and the password is powervault. You should change the user

name and password to ensure security.

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.
