Setting The IPX/SPX options
(Legacy 3003-XTP NIC)

The IPX/SPX Purpose

The purpose of this option is to set the multiprotocol 3003-XTP NIC to be
enabled to use the IPX/SPX protocol. The 10/100 Ethernet card/port does
not support the IPX/SPX protocol. All Controllers now use an optional,
external Ethernet Adapter to support IPX/SPX.

When selecting the IPX/SPX port, the following information is required:

ENABLING THE 3003-XTP NIC TO USE THE IPX/SPX PROTOCOL.

Range: ON or OFF

Default: ON

CONFIGURING THE IPX/SPX FRAME SETTING

Range: 802.3, 802.2, SNAP, ETHERNET2, or AUTO

Default: AUTO

To use the IPX/SPX (Novell) protocol requires that the IPX/SPX protocol be
enabled, and a frame type specified. In almost all networks the default frame
type of “Auto” will be appropriate.

Other settings may be required, depending on your network environment.
Consult your network administrator for local network requirements. The
Xerox 8825/8830 Network Administrator Guide contains procedures for
communicating with the printer using the IPX/SPX protocol.
