SVC Idle Timer

is a period that an IPX connection can remain active with no traffic before the con-
nection is cleared.

Max VCs to Establish

specifies a number of virtual circuits over which IPX traffic will be transmitted in par-
allel.

PVC Connection

identifies this interface as one end of a PVC.

Descriptions of Parameters Specific to LAN Interfaces

LAN Card Number

identifies the interface number as

0

. There is no LAN card, but the software code is

shared with the Netlink FRX6000, which does have a card.

Configuring Static IPX Routes

Routing of IPX traffic is handled dynamically by such protocols as RIP and SAP, as
well as via static routes configured in the SmartSwitch 1800.

To display configured static routes, press

[H]

at the Connections and Routing Paths

Menu (or

[A], [D], [H]

from the Main Menu).

To configure a route, press

[I]

at the Connections and Routing Paths Menu. When

prompted, enter:

Type

:

0

(RIP) or

1

(SAP). (The default is

0

.)

Route/Service Number

:

0–65535

. (The default is

0

.). This is simply an identifier.

The display will be similar to the RIP example in the following figure. (A SAP record
will display different parameters.)
