This field is used to set the alarm threshold. For Germany and France, the same EuroISDN switch type is supported. For the rest of the world, the dominant switch type is EuroISDN (ETSI) or NET3. In Northern America, the dominant switch type is National ISDN-1 (NI-1). Please check your local phone company for the exact switch type. This selection has to be perfectly matched for your ISDN to function. The switch type is selected by pulling down the switch-type box, and pick the one right for your ISDN line. The switch type specifies the switch type of the ISDN switch to which your ISDN line is connected. Some of the fields are linked to the menu “Quick Config”. For North-America, the SPIDs are also required. The switch type is a parameter that has to be entered precisely. Certain parameters have to be set correctly as given by your local telephone company for the ISDN router to function properly. This Local ISDN menu (see Figure 0-6, Local ISDN Window) describes the ISDN aspects of the local configuration. Other frame type of IPX may be bridged if enabled. The Hypertec Router will route IPX packets of the specified IPX frame type. The IPX frame type is selected from the pull-down menu including Ethernet II, 802.3, 802.2, and SNAP. The IPX frame type specifies the frame encapsulation scheme this router will recognize as the IPX frames from the local Ethernet. The IPX network has to be configured correctly for the Hypertec Router to route IPX traffic. With the given IPX network number, the Hypertec Router creates a route entry in the IPX route table automatically.

This 4-byte field is entered in 8 hex characters. The IPX network specifies the IPX network number of the Ethernet this router is directly connected to. This field is linked to Local IP Mask in menu “Quick Configuration”. The IP mask describes the local IP sub-netting. This field is linked to Local IP Address in menu “Quick Configuration”. The IP address describes the IP address assigned to this router by your ISP. Any text character is acceptable for up to 32 characters. This field is linked to Local Router Name in the menu “Quick Configuration”. The device name specifies the name of this ISDN router. Figure 0-5, Local Ethernet Window Device Name
