[MDGFND]
Type = NDIS_SNGL
Title = "Madge Smart 100 Ringnodes"
Version = 2.00
DriverName = MDGFND$
[File]
Name = MDGFND.OS2
Path = IBMCOM\MACS
[EthernetMode]
Display = "Ethernet emulation mode"
Type = String
StrLength = 3
Set = "YES","NO"
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "MDGFND usually emulates a token-ring NDIS driver - the
protocols immediately above MDGFND in the protocol stack think
they are communicating over a token-ring network. If you set this
parameter to YES, the protocols above MDGFND think they are
communicating over an Ethernet network."
[FDDIIPXMode]
Display = "FDDI IPX support"
Type = String
StrLength = 3
Set = "YES","NO"
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter enables MDGFND to support FDDI IPX frames
when in token-ring emulation mode. It is needed, because
token-ring and FDDI use different addressing formats for IPX
headers."
[GDTAddressing]
Display = "GDT addressing support"
Type = String
StrLength = 3
Set = "YES","NO"
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter provides support for virtual GDT (Global
Descriptor Table) addresses to describe the location of buffers
passed to the NDIS driver."
[IOAddress]
Tag = IOAddress
Display = "IO address"
Type = HexNum
Range = 0A20 - FC80
Step = 1
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter defines the I/O address of the Ringnode that
MDGFND should use."
[NodeAddress]
Tag = NetAddress
Display = "Locally administered address"
Type = HexString
Strlength = 12
Range = "400000000000" - "7FFFFFFFFFFF"
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter, if set, overrides the permanent hardware
address that the Ringnode normally uses. Specify this parameter as
a twelve-digit, hexadecimal string. The address you give must be a
unique, locally-administered node address. Always give this
parameter in token-ring network format."
[OpenMode]
Display = "Open mode"
Type = String
StrLength = 8
Set = "STANDARD","MAINTAIN","ALWAYS"
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter enables you to select one of three open
modes. In STANDARD mode, requests to open and close the Ringnode
that are made by the protocols immediately above MDGFND in the
protocol stack, actually open and close the Ringnode.
In MAINTAIN mode, requests to open and close the Ringnode do not
actually open and close the Ringnode. However, as far as the
protocols immediately above MDGFND in the protocol stack can
determine, the Ringnode is behaving as if it is in the open or
close state requested. This mode removes the minor interruptions
when the ring is down that are caused by Ringnodes inserting into
or deinserting from the ring.
In ALWAYS mode, requests to open and close the Ringnode are not
supported. MDGFND opens the Ringnode automatically at bind time,
and the protocols immediately above MDGFND in the protocol stack
are informed that the Ringnode is always open."
[PIOOnly]
Display = "PIO tranfers only"
Type = String
StrLength = 3
Set = "YES","NO"
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter forces MDGFND to use PIO mode. You may need
to use this parameter if you are using a memory manager that does
not work with DMA."
[SRStrip]
Display = "Strip source-routing info"
Type = String
StrLength = 3
Set = "YES","NO"
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter determines whether or not the Ringnode
strips source-routing information out of a frame before
transmitting it. This parameter acts independently of SRSupport."
[SRSupport]
Display = "Source-routing support"
Type = String
StrLength = 3
Set = "YES","NO"
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter provides support for source routing."
[TXThreshold]
Display = "Transmit pipelining threshold"
Type = Decimal
Range = 0 - 4096
Step = 1
Optional = Yes
Editable = Yes
Virtual = No
Help = "This parameter determines the degree of transmit pipelining
used. The lower the number, the earlier the actual transmission
onto the ring commences. If the parameter is set too low, then
frames may not be transmitted. The default value, 0, disables any
transmit pipelining."
