Note: The IPX network numbers shown above are examples only!
This configuration note explains how to set up a workstation on a network to use a Cisco 2503 to make a
connection to a Prestige to route IPX. In this configuration, the workstation has NetWare client software
so that you will be able to log into the NetWare server on the remote network. There will be three items
that you need to set up. These are the workstation, Cisco 2503 and the Prestige.
I. Workstation Setup (NetWare Client)
To set up the workstation (W/S), you will need to set the following parameters:
• IPX Frame Type - First determine the frame type that the Cisco router is using, and set the same
frame type on the NetWare client workstation.
• Server Name - In some cases, you may need the name that has been configured for the NetWare
server you wish to login to. In the previous example, that would be ‘Server_1’.
The procedure for configuring these parameters for your workstation may differ depending on the
type of IPX client software you are using on your workstation. If you are unfamiliar with how to set
these parameters, you can refer to the technical notes corresponding to your software.
• DOS workstation w/ NetWare Client (VLM) software
• Windows 95/NT - see section ‘LAN-to-LAN’
II. Prestige Setup
In order to configure the Prestige on the Novell server side for this application, make sure you have
the following menus configured correctly.
Note that the fields are indicated in bold type.

Press ENTER to Confirm or ESC to Cancel:
• Make sure that you have set the correct Frame Type(s) to ‘Yes’. You should enable the frame
type that the NetWare server is running. ( Please note that it is possible to set more than one
frame type to ‘Yes’ if you have more than one server and they are using different frame types.)
• Since Prestige is connected on the Novell server side, set that Seed Router field to ‘No’.
Menu 11:
Menu 11 - Remote Node Profile

Enter here to CONFIRM or ESC to CANCEL:
• Dial-On-Query should be ‘No’.
• The Rem LAN Net # field should be set to the number that Cisco is using on LAN. This number
can be seen in your Cisco router. In our example, this value is ‘23456789’.
• W/D Spoofing can be set to a greater value, so if your ISDN connection drops for an extended
period of time, the Prestige will still retain the proper SAP and RIP tables.
