Internetwork Packet Exchange
Service Address Node —Node address where the service resides. If
you are specifying a file service or a service on a server or router,
enter 1 . If you are specifying a NetWare 2 file server, specify the
NIC address of LAN board A.
Service Address Socket —Socket number on which this service
listens for service requests. If you are specifying a file service, enter
0x0451 .
NOTE:
If you need to obtain service address socket information, use the
IPXCON utility at the remote router. If you use STATICON to configure static
services, this information is obtained automatically.
Hops to Service —Number of routes crossed to reach the service.
Ticks to Service —Number of ticks needed for a packet to reach the
destination network. Add one tick to this value for each LAN hop.

STATICON provides a fast and error-free way to configure static routes and
services on routers at each end of a point-to-point WAN connection. However,
before loading STATICON, you must use NIASCFG to complete the
following preparatory tasks on each router:
Set up a WAN call destination to the router at the other end of the
connection.
Select Reinitialize System to activate the NIASCFG configuration.
IMPORTANT:
For STATICON to operate, the router at the other end of the
connection must either be running Novell Internet Access Server 4.1 or be a third-
party router that supports IPX SNMP and the IPX Management Information Base
(MIB) variables.
When you load STATICON, the Select Configuration Method menu appears.
Table 3 on page 57 describes each menu option.
