Node Numbers — Servers can have internal and external node numbers. The internal node

number is a logical number assigned by the system administrator to the server. The external node

number is the MAC address of the server. When adding SAP services to the SAP table, internal

node numbers are used.

Network Information Tables

The following tables list the items you need to deﬁne or obtain to conﬁgure the router. This

information is illustrated in the network information diagrams and described in the previous

sections. Worksheets are provided in Chapter D, so that you can enter details about your CSX400

and remote routers. Table 4 provides information for conﬁguring your system settings, Table 5

explains the Remote Router Database conﬁguration settings and Table 6 details bridging and

routing conﬁguration.

NOTE

To conﬁgure the CSX400, you need to ﬁll out one chart for the CSX400 and one

Remote Router chart for each remote router to be entered into the remote router

database. If you are setting up both ends of the network, you need a mirror image of

the information listed below for conﬁguring the router on the other end of the ISDN link.
