An easier way is (if you have IP addresses on the interfaces) to convert
your decimal IP address to a HEX IPX address. I.e. WAN Link Interface [A]
has an ip address of 120.100.4.15 which will make the IPX address for that
link 78644F. This way you will always have unique IPX addresses that can
still adhere to any IP addressing hierarchy that you might have.
