Fixed callback is supported by the ARA client.
Using NetBEUI
The Perle 833IS supports the NetBEUI (NetBIOS Extended User Interface)
protocol. This permits clients such as the Windows 95 and Windows NT Dial up
Networking clients to be used in a NetBIOS environment.
NetBEUI requires that the client dialing into the 833IS emulate a LAN adapter. The
833IS supplies a MAC address from an address pool for this emulated LAN adapter.
Although this MAC address must be unique on your network, it does not have to
remain constant every time a client connects.
The MAC address pool is defined in the LAN Feature card configuration. By
default, this MAC address pool is disabled. See “Configure the Ethernet LAN
Interface” on page 77 and “Configure the Token Ring LAN Interface” on page 78
for details on defining the pool.
Because the Perle 833IS supports up to 10 sessions per connection using NetBIOS
the maximum number of sessions in the client's NetBEUI configuration must be set
to 10 or less.
