Field Description
Handle IPX Field
Press the [SPACE BAR] to toggle between the options for this field.
None When there is no IPX traffic on the LAN or when you do
not want to apply any special handling for IPX.
Client When there are only client workstations on the LAN. RIP
and SAP (Service Advertising Protocol) response packets
will not trigger calls.
Server When there are only IPX servers on the LAN. No RIP or
SAP packets will trigger calls. In addition, during the time
when the line is down, your Prestige 681 will reply to
watchdog messages from the servers on behalf of remote
clients. The period of time that your Prestige 681 will do
this is linked to the Ethernet Address Timeout parameter
in each remote node (see Remote Node Configuration).
When a remote Ethernet address is aged out, there is no
need to maintain its connection to the IPX server.
If there are both clients and servers on the LAN, and the local clients will access the remote servers, set this
field to Server but turn on the Dial-On-Broadcast (if using PPPoE encapsulation) parameter in Menu
11.3 to allow the client queries to trigger calls.
