Description of the menu options
ELSA LANCOM Business
R50
Setup/IPX-module/LAN-configuration
Settings for the LAN data packets may be made here. The menu has the following layout:
Network The NetWare network number of the network (8-digits, hexadecimal) that is connected
to the LAN port under the binding (see below) may be entered here. If there is a NetWare
server in the local network, the router can automatically detect the network number and
the binding.
The default value is '00000000' and means that the router should automatically detect
the network number.
Binding This option allows you to select the Ethernet packet format (Auto, II, 802.3, 802.2, SNAP)
for the LAN port. This format must match the Ethernet format used in the local network
under the above-mentioned network number.
The default is 'auto' and means that the router should automatically detect the binding
(only if there is a NetWare server in the local network).
IPX-watch This option allows you to define the type of management used for IPX watchdog packets.
쮿
Filt. means that the IPX watchdog packets are neither answered nor transferred
locally. Users are always logged off after the period of time set in the NetWare
server.
쮿
Route causes the watchdog packets to be transferred and, consequently, also
causes a regular establishment of connections by means of the server’s watchdog
packets.
쮿
Spoof (default) ensures that IPX watchdog packets are answered locally by the
router and therefore that users are no longer automatically logged off. This setting
is especially economical but steps must be taken in the server to ensure that users
are logged off at specific times in order to prevent the usage of too many user
licenses.
