Frame Types - Ethernet
There are basically two different frame types on Ethernet
networks, Ethernet II or IEEE 802.3. The IEEE 802.3
frame can be encapsulated in an IEEE 802.2 LLC frame
or a SNAP frame. All four frame types are enabled by
default with the value
auto
, which means that your
DRM-6NX automatically adapts to the frame type used
on the network. This will meet most requirements.
Frame types used in your network will be supported
by the DRM-6NX.
However, depending upon the network, you may want
the DRM-6NX to ignore some frame types. If your net-
work has multiple sections with different frame types on
some of the sections, then the Changer might log
on to the wrong network area and adapt to a frame
type incompatible with the intended network section.
For this reason, you have the option to disable specific
frame types by changing the parameter from
auto
to
off.
Alternatively, mark the frame type with the eight digit
number appropriate to your network segment , such
as 00-3F-B5-01. Usually marking is un-necessary as
the auto-detection will handle most situations. To
create this mark, edit the config.sys file using a
text editor. Althought you cannot enter the network
number from a Web Browser, you may display the
frame type and change the value to auto or off
if required.
Problems Locating the Domain Controller
in Windows (SMB)
If there is a problem locating the primary domain
controller when running user-level security mode
in Windows (SMB), all users will be denied access to
the DRM-6NX.
Web Browser
To verify configuration settings for the DRM-6NX web
interface, access the Administration pages. Click on
Network Settings and Detailed View then open the
Windows (SMB) tab.
Local Administrator Account
To locate the Domain Controller in Windows NT, log on
to the DRM-6NX as the local administrator. Note that
a local administrator is not the same as an Administrator
with an account on the domain.
In the Map Network Drive dialog, specify the following:
Path: The DRM-6NX name
Connect as: Server name\Administrator
Password: The password set in the
ServerPassword parameter
Example:
The host name of the DRM-6NX is
cdserv
.
Path:
\\cdserv\root
Connect as:
cdserv\Administrator
NOTE:

In Windows 95, you cannot tell the SMB client to change domain
and user when you are already logged in. Therefore, you cannot
use the local administrator account to solve domain problems in
the Windows 95 environment.
