Setting Up SPX Support
SPX is supported between PSQL clients and servers. If you have modified the default settings or need to verify that SPX support is available, refer to this section.
Your network’s SPX Frame Type setting does not have any effect on PSQL. All computers communicating over SPX should be configured for the same SPX Frame Type. The Ethernet_802.2 frame type is the default and is recommended.
*Note: In order to perform any of the tasks in this section, you must be a member of the Pervasive_Admin group defined on the server.

To Enable SPX Support
Complete the following steps to ensure that the database server engine can communicate with clients over SPX networks.
*Note: In an all-Microsoft environment, SPX can be used with applications that use only the PSQL MicroKernel Engine. Applications that use only the MicroKernel Engine do not require name resolution with SPX.
1
Access Control Center (PCC) from the operating system Start menu or Apps screen.
2
In the PCC PSQL Explorer, double-click Engines to display a list of the engines registered with PCC.
3
Right-click the target engine then click Properties. Login if prompted.
4
Click Communication Protocols, and the list of Supported protocols displays. If SPX is checked, then SPX is already supported.
5
Click SPX then restart the database engine for the changes to take effect.
*Tip: Remember that you also need to confirm that your client computers are configured to use SPX, as well. See Chapter 10, Configuring Network Communications for Clients.
