1.160 SPXS

Use at the server console to provide STREAMS-based SPX™ protocol services.


[LOAD] [path]SPXS [LDFILE = [path]filename[ext]]

Parameter	Use to
path	Specify the path to SPXS if you moved it from the default directory.
LDFILE = [path]\filename[.ext]	Load the data file that contains the SPX timer defaults and physical packet size tables. If you don't specify a filename, SPXS sets the parameters defined in the ipxspx.cfg file. If you don't specify a file extension, the default is .cfg.

Parameter

Use to

path

Specify the path to SPXS if you moved it from the default directory.

LDFILE = [path]\filename[.ext]

Load the data file that contains the SPX timer defaults and physical packet size tables.

If you don't specify a filename, SPXS sets the parameters defined in the ipxspx.cfg file.

If you don't specify a file extension, the default is .cfg.

When you load SPXS, the parameters in the ipxspx.cfg file are set, unless you specify an alternate configuration filename.

NOTE:The ipxspx.cfg file is modified from the INETCFG utility when you set SPX/IPX parameters.
You can create multiple configuration files in addition to ipxspx.cfg. Use this feature if you frequently alternate between two or more IPX/SPX configurations.

To create multiple configuration files, copy the IPXSPX.CFG file to a new filename (ipxspx2.cfg, for example). Then you can change the ipxspx.cfg file (by using INETCFG) and still preserve the original configuration in the ipxspx2.cfg file.
To load a configuration file other than the default ipxspx.cfg file, use the LDFILE option.

For example, if you have a second configuration file called ipxspx2.cfg, you can load that configuration by typing

[LOAD] SPXS LDFILE = IPXSPX2
When you load SPXS, STREAMS is autoloaded.
