Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "To set a locally administered address for the adapter, type in the
local address you want to use, which must consist of 12 hexadecimal
characters enclosed in double quotation marks. This parameter overrides
the default universally administered address of the adapter card, and must
be unique among all of the networked adapter addresses. For Token
Ring adapters, this parameter must be within the hex range 400000000000
through 7FFFFFFFFFFF. For Ethernet adapters, this parameter is
entered in canonical format, such as 020000000000. The corresponding
group address bit must not be set."

[MaxTransmits]
display = "Maximum number of queued transmits"
type = Decimal
Default = "31"
Range = 1 - 512
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter specifies the maximum number of transmit queue
entries, and may be set to a value from 1 to 512. The network adapter
driver allocates approximately 400 bytes for each transmit queue entry.
The value of this parameter should be high enough to accommodate the sum of
all Maximum Number of Queued Transmits parameter values for all protocol
drivers using the adapter concurrently."
[MaxTxFrameSize]
display = "Maximum transmit frame size"
type = Decimal
Default = "18000"
Range = 14 - 18000
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter specifies the maximum frame size that can be
transmitted on the LAN, and may be set to a value from 14 to 18000. It
serves as an upper limit, since the actual frame size maximum may be less.
The maximum transmit frame size supported by the MAC driver is the smallest
of this parameter, the Total Receive Buffer Area, or the physical frame
size capacity of the network being used. Do not count the 4 bytes of CRC
defined for a frame when setting this value."
[MinRcvBuffs]
display = "Minimum adapter driver receive buffers"
type = Decimal
Default = "20"
Range = 2 - 512
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter specifies the minimum number of receive buffers that
are allocated, and may be set to a value from 2 to 512. The Total Receive
Buffer Area for the network adapter is calculated from the product of this
parameter and the Size of Adapter Driver Receive Buffer parameter. The
maximum receive frame size allowed by the network is 1518 bytes for Ethernet,
4504 bytes for 4 Mbps Token Ring, and 18004 bytes for 16 Mbps Token Ring.
The maximum frame size supported by the device driver is the smallest of
the Total Receive Buffer Area, the network maximum receive frame size,
or the Maximum Transmit Frame Size parameter."

type = Decimal
Default = "2048"
Range = 64 - 18000
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter specifies the size of each receive buffer. The
allowable range covers both Token Ring and Ethernet adapters, but specific
ranges are enforced by the device driver for the particular network type as
follows: Ethernet 64 to 2048 bytes, Token Ring 96 to 18000 bytes. If this
parameter is not specified, or is set to a value outside of the allowable
range for the network type, a common default will be used."

Default = "16"
Range = 1 - 256
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter specifies the maximum number of multicast (Ethernet)
or group (Token Ring) addresses supported by the device driver, and may be
set to a value from 1 to 256. Approximately 16 bytes of system memory are
required for each multicast/group address."

Default = "YES"

Set = NO, YES
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter specifies whether the transmit end of frame interrupt
should be enabled or not. A YES value indicates that transmit end of frame
interrupt will be recognized by the interrupt handler. A NO value indicates
that the transmit end of frame should not be recognized by the interrupt
handler. A NO value may be desirable in some environments to reduce the
number of times the interrupt handler is invoked, such as in a server
environment."
[LoopBack]
display = "Loopback is supported by the adapter"
type = String
StrLength = 3
Set = NO, YES
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter determines whether loopback is supported by the
adapter. If this parameter is set to NO, then frames transmitted by this
station that would also be received by it will not be copied, and the
frames must be looped back by the protocol stack instead. If this
parameter is a YES, loopback will be handled by the adapter. If not
specified, loopback will be set to YES by the device driver, except if
using a 16-bit adapter or a 16-bit bus slot, then loopback is set to
NO (this exception does not apply for 4 Mbps Token Ring operation)."

type = String
Default = "NO"
StrLength = 3
Set = NO, YES
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter enables the 20 Mbps full duplex mode for Ethernet.
Setting a value of YES will enable this feature in the adapter, provided the
adapter is attached with a UTP cable to a switched Ethernet concentrator
that supports full duplex operation."

type = String
Default = "NO"
StrLength = 3
Set = NO, YES
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter enables the high-priority transmit channel. Setting a
value of YES will enable this channel, and the Maximum High-Priority Transmit
Access Priority and the High-Priority Transmit Channel Threshold parameters
will be used to configure its operation. The default value leaves this
channel disabled. NOTE: The high-priority transmit channel can only be
enabled for Token Ring (it is always disabled for Ethernet)."
[HiPriTxAccess]
display = "Maximum high-priority transmit access priority"
type = Decimal
Default = "5"
Range = 0 - 5
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter specifies the value of the maximum token access
priority that will be allowed for frames sent on the high-priority transmit
channel, and may be set to a value from 0 to 5. Frames which are transmitted
on the high-priority channel, but whose Frame Control priority value exceeds
this parameter, will have their token access priority downgraded to the value
specified by this parameter. This parameter is ignored if the high-priority
channel is not enabled."
[HiPriTxThresh]
display = "High-priority transmit threshold"
type = Decimal
Default = "4"
Range = 1 - 5
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter specifies the threshold token access priority value,
and may be set to a value from 1 to 5. All LLC frames containing a frame
priority setting in the Frame Control byte that is equal to or greater than
the value of this parameter are treated as high-priority frames. This
parameter will be ignored if the high-priority channel is not enabled."

Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter indicates whether MAC frames should be copied
when a token ring adapter is in promiscuous copy mode, also referred to
as trace mode. If the value is YES then only LLC frames will be copied.
If the value is NO then all frames on the ring will be copied."

display = "Configure PCI adapter network data rate"
type = String
StrLength = 4
Set = AUTO, 16, 4
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "Configures the token ring data rate for the IBM Auto LANStreamer
PCI adapter. This parameter may be set to AUTO for ring speed auto
detection, 16 for 16 Mbps operation, or 4 for 4 Mbps operation. If
not specified, it will default to AUTO. This parameter will be ignored
for all other types of IBM Streamer Family adapters."
[EnableTRFDX]
display = "Enable token ring full-duplex operation"
type = String
Default = "NO"
StrLength = 3
Set = NO, YES
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter permits the device driver to activate token ring
full-duplex operation if supported by the adapter and its network. A YES
value enables the operation, while a NO value (the default) prohibits it.
If this parameter is set to YES, the LoopBack parameter must be set to reflect
the ability of the attached full-duplex switch to loop back frames sent to it.
Also, the MaxTxFrameSize parameter may need to be adjusted separately depending
on network requirements. This parameter is ignored for Ethernet operation."
