Configuring IPX for
the LAN

To configure IPX over the LAN, assign an IPX network to the LAN port by
providing a name and a network address. After adding a network you
can modify advanced parameters.

In order for the OfficeConnect Remote 840 to route traffic, you also have
to set up a corresponding network over the WAN port. (See

“Configuring

IPX for Remote Sites Connection”

.)

Use the Configuration > Local Site (LAN) > IPX screen to define or
modify all IPX networks over the LAN. Note that each IPX network
defined over the LAN must support a different frame type.

Adding a Local IPX

Network

To add a Local IPX network:

1 From the OfficeConnect Remote 840 home page, select Configuration

> Local Site (LAN) > IPX. Click Add. This brings up a screen with the
following fields:

2 Enter a name for the network, the IPX address of the network, and the

frame type of the network running on the LAN. Check the Enable IPX
box.

3 Click Add to add this defined IPX network.

For information of configuring the IPX RIP and SAP, see

“Configuring IPX

RIP and SAP”
