The default is: Automatic.
The frame type options for Ethernet are:

Ethernet II
802.3
SNAP
The frame type options for Token Ring are:
802.2
SNAP
When the printer is powered on, the XNIC will begin the
process of discovering a Novell file server. The default
operation is to search for an 802.2 frame type first.
If the XNIC finds any file server with an 802.2 frame type, it
will automatically attach to it and the XNIC will be locked to
this frame type as long as the printer remains powered on.
If the XNIC does not find a file server with an 802.2 frame
type, it will automatically restart the discovery process by
looking for the next frame type in the priority order listed
above.
To permanently lock the XNIC to a specific frame type,
instead of letting the procedure occur automatically, issue this
command from TES:
>define server netware
frame_type
>init delay 0
Note
At any given time, the XNIC will be locked into only one
frame type.
