Book A Chapter 11 Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) Protocol
Dial-up Addressing
Dial-up addressing is controlled through the global port parameter
address_origin. When this parameter is set to acp, the RA 6300 uses the
host-resident acp_dialup file to handle addressing. The file resides in the
RA 6300 install directory. For information on making entries into the
acp_dialup file, see Creating the acp_dialup File on page A-276.
Any ACP dial-up address request that comes from the RA 6300 includes
the RA 6300 address and an associated user name, which are used as keys
in this file. Once the keys are matched, the corresponding dial-up
addresses are returned to the caller on the RA 6300. Dial-up addressing
offers the ability to assign IPX nodes to individual users.
Fixed Addressing
Fixed addressing for the RA 6300 is controlled through the ipx_network
parameter used with the set pri b command. This parameter and
command associates IPX nodes with PRI B channels.
When needed (e.g., when the address_origin parameter is set to local),
the IPX nodes set using this command/parameter combination are
automatically used for calls over the B channels. Unlike dial-up
addressing, fixed addressing associates IPX nodes with B-channels, not
with specific users.
For more information, see ipx_network on page C-62.
