IPX protocol accepts data from remote devices and formats the data for transmission onto the
network, and conversely, accepts data from the LAN and formats it so it can be understood by
remote devices. In short, IPX allows remote devices and their servers to communicate.
CyberSWITCH systems and 9W006/9W007 SmartSwitch Remote Access Modules support the
standard method of routing IPX datagrams over a network. The system provides bandwidth
management features to make the interconnection of IPX networks cost effective over demand type
connections like ISDN.
You can configure or view IPX network information in one of two ways: at the segment level or at
the system level. The segment view looks at IPX network information with the "big picture" in
mind; you are viewing how multiple systems interconnect to form an IPX segment. The system
view looks at IPX information with a specific system in mind; you are viewing how the individual
system relates to the rest of the network.
Depending on which view you will be using to add IPX network information, refer to one of the
following two sections for instructions:
•
Configuring IPX Network Segment Information
•
Configuring IPX Network System Information
It is important to note that both views share the basic concept of a network interface. Configuring IP

The use of segmenting provides additional flexibility in addressing. A segment is a portion of a
network that can be considered a single network component.
To begin configuring an IPX network segment:
From the menu bar click on Functions then click on IPX Network, then on Segments, or click
on the toolbar. Then click on Add to add a new IPX network segment. The following screen will then
be displayed:
