You can configure the unit to connect to other Novell networks, to bridge 

 

to hosts on the same IP network (a network with the same IP network 

 

address), to route to a different IP network (an IP network with a different 

 

IP network address) and to connect to the Internet or other Point-to-Point 

 

Protocol (PPP) router. By using the commands several times, you can 

 

configure the unit to automatically connect to a combination of the above 

 

networks or to several different networks of the same type.

 

For example, if you need to connect to an IPX site, an IP host on a 

 

different network and to the Internet using an ISDN connection to your 

 

Internet service provider you would do the following.

■

 

Use the 

 

 command to configure the connection to the Novell server 

 

at the remote site.

■

 

Use the 

 

 command to configure the connection to the remote IP 

 

host.

■

 

Use the 

 

 command to configure the connection to your Internet 

 

service provider’s router.

 

The AccessBuilder 500 talks to other AccessBuilder units using its own 

 

very efficient FastConnect protocol over the ISDN or WAN port 

 

connections. If you need to communicate with another manufacturer’s 

 

equipment, then you need to configure the AccessBuilder 500 to use 

 

the PPP protocol using the 

 

 option. See later in this section for 

 

more information. You can further configure the PPP parameters using 

 

the management system. See the 

 

 guide for more information.
