There are two different scenarios in which you would connect your
DI-106M to a LAN: one with a server (server side), and one
without a server (client side).
DI-106M on LAN with Server
If the DI-106M will be connected to a LAN with an existing
NetWare server, you will not need to configure the DI-106M as
a seed router, and hence there will be no need for a network
number parameter in the Ethernet Setup menu for the DI-106M.
Rather, the DI-106M will learn the network number of the
network it is attached to through the regular RIP broadcasts sent
by the server, and it will add this route to its routing table.
DI-106M on LAN without Server
If the DI-106M is connected to a LAN without an existing
NetWare server station, then it needs to create a unique external
network number to apply to that frame on the LAN. This
DI-106M must then be configured as a Seed Router, and the
network number can be configured in the Ethernet Setup menu.
