SPXCONFG

Use at the server console to configure certain SPX^TM parameters.

NOTE: These parameters can also be configured from the INETCFG utility.

[LOAD] SPXCONFG [option[=value]]

Parameter	Use to
(no parameter)	Load SPXCONFG and display configuration menu.
option	Replace option with any available option. See SPXCONFG Options.
value	Specify a numerical value for an option. For information on setting these values, see INETCFG.

Parameter

Use to

(no parameter)

Load SPXCONFG and display configuration menu.

option

Replace option with any available option. See SPXCONFG Options.

value

Specify a numerical value for an option.

For information on setting these values, see INETCFG.

Option	Use to
A=	Specify SPX Watchdog Abort timeout (in ticks).
V=	Specify SPX Watchdog Verify timeout (in ticks).
W=	Specify SPX Ack Wait timeout (in ticks).
R=	Specify SPX Default Retry count.
S=	Specify maximum concurrent SPX sessions.
Q=1	Specify quiet mode (suppresses display of changed settings).
H	Display SPXCONFG help screen.
I=	Specify IPX^TM maximum socket table size.

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 Program1. SPX Watchdog Abort timeout 5402. SPX Watchdog Verify timeout 543. SPX Ack wait timeout 1084. SPX Default Retry count 105. Maximum concurrent SPX sessions 20486. 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^TM 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]]

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
