Configuring bridged connections
Bridged connections require both Answer and Connection (or Names/Passwords) profiles
settings. They also require a method of recognizing when to dial the connection. The method
can use either the dial-on-broadcast feature or a Bridge Adrs profile (Ethernet > Bridge Adrs).
If a connection has an associated Bridge Adrs profile, it does not need dial-on-broadcast. You
can define up to 100 Bridge Adrs profiles.
Following are the bridging parameters (shown with sample values):

The following sections provide some background information about the bridging parameters.
For discussion of IPX options, see "IPX bridged configurations" on page 14-12. For detailed
information about each parameter, see the MAX Reference.
Bridge and Recv Auth
In order for the MAX to accept inbound bridged connections, the Bridge parameter must be
enabled and the Recv Auth parameter must specify a form of password authentication must be
enabled. The Bridge and Recv Auth parameters are located in Ethernet > Answer > PPP
