This IPX Quick Configuration Panel enables you to configure IPX on the physical interfaces and on the emulated LAN interfaces. If IPX is configured on the ATM physical interfaces, it conforms to RFC 1483, LLC/SNAP encapsulation on ATM. The MSS Server routes IPX messages between networks that use RFC 1483 and those that use IPX over LAN emulation.
To configure IPX:
Valid values: X'1' to X'FFFFFFFE'
