Using SPXCONFG

 You can use SPXCONFG in your autoexec.ncf file, as a console

command, as a menu utility, or as a configuration file that is invoked by

INETCFG.

 If you don’t specify a parameter, the following menu appears:

SPX Configuration Control Program

1. SPX Watchdog Abort timeout 540

2. SPX Watchdog Verify timeout 54

3. SPX Ack wait timeout 108

4. SPX Default Retry count 10

5. Maximum concurrent SPX sessions 2048

6. IPX maximum socket table size 1200

You can then select parameters to change.

 SPXCONFG changes the configuration of SPX as well as the

STREAMS-based SPXS (SPXII).

 If you enabled TCP/IP or AppleTalk* on the server, you can use either

INETCFG or SPXCONFG to set SPX parameters.

When you set the parameters using INETCFG, a load line for

SPXCONFG is automatically added to the NETINFO.CFG file so it runs

each time you bring up the server.

 If you have only IPX/SPX

enabled on the server (and not TCP/IP or

AppleTalk) and you want to use the SPXCONFG parameters each time

you boot the server, place the following command in your autoexec.ncf

file:

[LOAD] [path]SPXCONFG [option[=value]]

Examples

To set SPX options to 1000 ticks for the SPX Watchdog Abort timeout and

suppress the display of changed settings, type

[LOAD] SPXCONFG A=1000 Q=1
