11. The Novell IPX Protocol Default Setup dialog box is displayed.
12. If your network protocol is IPX, continue with the following steps. However, if your network protocol is
IP, click the IPX Routing Enable check box to disable IPX, then click OK and proceed to step 17.
13. Router Name: If this is the only RouteFinder on your network, you can use the default Router Name
(MTROUTER); otherwise, you must assign a new Router Name in this field. The Router Name can be
any printable ASCII string of up to 47 characters. The RouteFinder will use this name to advertise its
service in the IPX internetwork.
14. Ethernet: You can enable Auto Learn Ethernet Network Numbers by leaving the default (Yes)
checked, or you can manually assign the network numbers after disabling the Auto Learn option by
clicking No. If no file server is connected to the Ethernet segment, then you should select No.
If you enable Auto Learn, the RouteFinder will learn the IPX network numbers from the file server.
If you disable Auto Learn, record in the space below the network numbers assigned by the network file
server for each of the four frame types [(Raw (802.3), LLC (802.2), EthernetII (Type II), and SNAP].
Also record the Network number for WAN 1.
RAW (802.3) Frames Network Number _____________
LLC (802.2) Frames Network Number ______________
TYPE_II Frames Network Number _________________
SNAP Frames Network Number ___________________
WAN 1 Network Number _________________________
WAN 2 Network Number _________________________
When you manually assign network numbers, make sure they match the network numbers assigned to
your local file server (if any).
15. WAN 1: enter the WAN Network number for the WAN port by clicking the Network Number box and
back-spacing through the default numbers entering your new WAN number. The WAN network number
must be the same as at the RouteFinder -T1 on the other end of the T1 service.
The WAN network number has to be assigned by the network administrator and must be unique
throughout the entire internetwork.
WAN 2: if WAN 2 is to be used (e.g., for Remote Access or an additional network), enter the WAN
network number for the WAN port by clicking the Network Number box, back-spacing through the
default numbers entering your new WAN number. The WAN network number must be the same as at
the RouteFinder on the other end.
The WAN network number has to be assigned by the network administrator and must be unique
throughout the entire internetwork.
Note: The WAN ports do not have the capability of learning the network number (i.e., the WAN port
does not have a file server).
16. Click OK when you are satisfied with your selections.
