If you are setting up IP routing and need to obtain an IP address dynamically, you
need to configure Network Address Translation, as described in “Setting up
Network Address Translation (NAT)” on page 5-11.
If you are setting up IPX routing, complete the configuration by following the
instructions in “Additional IPX settings” on page 5-11.
Route
Choose IP, IPX, or IP and IPX as needed. If you choose IP, you
must have TCP/IP set up on your computer. To route IPX, you
need client IPX networking software installed and configured on
your computer. Additionally, AppleTalk routing is available by
downloading a special version of the Pipeline software.
Bridge
If you are using a Macintosh computer, and will be routing IP to
the Internet or a corporate LAN (or routing IPX), you can bridge
your AppleTalk packets by setting this parameter to Yes.
Generally, bridging is enabled to move data that you do not have
routing software for.
If you set this parameter to Yes, refer to the User’s Guide for
information about configuring bridged connections.

Auth refers to the authentication method used by the remote
network to ensure you are who you say you are. You must use
the authentication method required by the remote network
administrator. If you allow others to call your Pipeline, you can
authenticate incoming calls, but both sides must be configured to
use the same method.
The Send password is your account password used when logging
into the remote network. The Receive password is one you set up
in advance with an incoming caller who will be authenticated.
For Frame Relay, these parameters do not apply.
Save
Pressing Enter saves your configuration. An asterisk appears in
the field if there are changes not saved in the Configure menu.
