This is a toggle field which allows the user to either ENABLE or DISABLE support for the

indicated frame format. At least one Frame Format must be enabled on this panel.

This is a 8 digit hexadecimal field which allows the user to specify the network number

which will be assigned to the network segment which the LAN adapter will be attached

to.

To be valid, this number may not be:

• the same number assigned to an internal IPX network segment

• the same number assigned to any directly connected or remote network segments

accessible via another LAN adapter on this LINCS node

• 00000000 or FFFFFFFF

• the same number assigned to another frame format on the same network segment

RIP and SAP Broadcast Timer

These fields allow the user to independently configure the time interval between RIP Routing

Information and SAP Service Information broadcasts on the network. The configured values

are 2 to 4095 thirty second intervals, where 2 (one minute) is the default value.
