Remember to save your configuration using the save all command before
rebooting your OCR 812 so that your changes will be written to permanent FLASH
memory.
Unlike IP, there is no setting on the OCR 812 that enables or disables IPX routing
functionality on a global basis.
To configure IPX over the LAN you need to assign an IPX network to the LAN port
with the add ipx network command. Each network has a name. You will use the
name when entering commands related to the network.
add ipx network <network name>
address <ipx network address>

You can obtain a list of all configured networks using the command list
networks. To only list IPX networks, use list ipx networks.
By default, the network is enabled when it is created. You can disable the


network using the following command:
disable ipx network <network name>
You can delete a disabled network using the command:


delete ipx network <network name>
In order to enable IPX to be routed to a remote site, you must configure the
following items in the VC profile associated with the remote site connection.
You must enable IPX routing in the profile


You must enter the WAN IPX network information


To enable or disable IPX routing in a VC profile use the command:


set vc <vc name>
ipx [DISABLE | ENABLE]
The WAN IPX network information consists of the IPX network address for the
wide area connection. The IPX network address associated with the WAN
connection can be specified by you, learned from the remote site (if you are using
PPP as the Network Service for the connection), or the interface can be
Unnumbered.
To specify the WAN IPX address using up to 8 hexadecimal characters, use the


command:
set vc <vc name>
ipx_address <ipx network address>
To specify that the WAN IPX network address should be learned via PPP you can


enter FFFFFFFF for the <ipx network address> parameter:
set vc <vc name>
ipx_address FFFFFFFF
