Update Method
RV: Use the WAN - IPX screen.
CL: Use interface(misc) and then ipx wan(set).
AppleTalk Protocol
Required for AppleTalk
WAN interfaces which are set for PPP operation do not generally use an AppleTalk
address. They are set to act as an "unnumbered interface." In this mode of
operation, there are no required settings.
Suggested for AppleTalk
If you plan to use dial-on-demand for this link, you should set the update method to
triggered to avoid the link being brought up by transmission of AppleTalk RTMP
information. You should only use triggered operation when you are connecting to
another DCB router at the other end.
When you set up an on-demand link with AppleTalk, you should carefully monitor
link usage to determine whether the link is being activated only when it is needed.
Additional router configuration will be required for many networks in order to
achieve optimal link usage.

Update Method
RV: Use the WAN - AppleTalk screen.
CL: Use interface(misc) and then appletalk wan(set).
DECnet Protocol
Required for DECnet
WAN interfaces which are set for PPP dial-on-demand operation should have their
DECnet hello timers and DECnet routing timers set for a fairly long period, since
the link will be brought up when this information is transmitted.
Because of the need to regularly bring the link up to exchange routing information,
on-demand operation using DECnet is not recommended.
