- ;PROTOCOL.INI PARAMETERS
- ;
- ; This is a sample PROTOCOL.INI file for the ELNKII 3Com EtherLink II NDIS MAC
- ; driver. The [ELNKII] section shows examples of ELNKII configuration
- ; parameter settings. Comments at the end of the file explain these parameters
- ; and give their default, minimum and maximum values. The [protocol manager]
- ; and [netbeui] sections aren't meant to be complete or realistic examples,
- ; except for the "BINDINGS = ELNKII" line in the [netbeui] section.
- ; The only parameter that must be specified is the "drivername". Note
- ; that many of these parameters have default values (which are given below
- ; under "Comments about ELNKII parameters"). A parameter need not be specified
- ; in your PROTOCOL.INI if its default value is satisfactory.
- ;
- ; When an EtherLink II adapter runs in shared memory mode, the datatransfer
- ; and dmachannel entries are ignored. The data transfer mode is
- ; memory-to-memory string moves. The EtherLink II adapter occupies 8K
- ; of high memory at C8000, CC000, D8000, or DC000, depending on a jumper
- ; selection on the adapter card.
- ;
- ;drivername
- ; units:[n/a]
- ; range:[ELNKII$,ELNKII2$,ELNKII3$,...]
- ; default:[ELNKII$]
- ;
- ; This parameter's value must be ELNKII$, or, in the case where
- ; multiple adapters are installed, ELNKII$ for the first adapter's
- ; drivername, ELNKII2$ for the second one, ELNKII3$ for the third, and
- ; so on.
- ;
- ;The following entries are optional under the [ELNKII] section.
- ;
- ;datatransfer
- ; units:[n/a]
- ; range:[block_dma,demand_dma,single_dma,pio_word,pio_byte]
- ; default:[demand_dma for 8086 and 8088, pio_word for 80286 and up]
- ;
- ; The table below describes the data transfer modes
- ;
- ; block_dma for 8086 and 8088 (fast)
- ; demand_dma for 8086 and 8088 (intermediate)
- ; single_dma for 8086 and 8088 (slow)
- ; pio_word for 80286 and up (fast)
- ; pio_byte for 80286 and up (slow)
- ;
- ;dmachannel
- ; units:[integer]
- ; range:[1-3]
- ; default:[1 for 8088 and 8086 only]
- ;
- ; Indicates the current DMA jumper configuration of the network
- ; dmachannel (8086 and 8088 computers only).
- ;
- ;interrupt
- ; units:[integer]
- ; range:[2-5]
- ; default:[3]
- ;
- ; On an 80286 or 80386 computer, specifying interrupt level 2
- ; will be redirected to interrupt level 9 because the cascaded programmable
- ; interrupt control (PIC) is already using interrupt level 2.
- ;
- ;ioaddress
- ; units:[hex]
- ; range:[250-350]
- ; default:[300]
- ;
- ; Indicates the current I/O address jumper configuration of
- ; the network adapter card. The value selected on the adapter card must
- ; equal this entry's value. If this entry does not match the adapter
- ; card's switch settings, the driver reports an error.
- ;
- ;maxtransmits
- ; units:[integer]
- ; range:[8-50]
- ; default:[12]
- ;
- ; Specifies the number of transmit queue entries in this driver.
- ; On a server, this number should be equal to the transmit window size
- ; times the maximum number of sessions.
- ;
- ;netaddress
- ; units:[hex]
- ; range:[12 hex digits]
- ; default:[n/a]
- ;
- ; Overrides the network address of the network adapter card.
- ; This entry should only be used if, for some reason, there are duplicate
- ; addresses on the network. The value of this entry is a hexadecimal
- ; string of 12 digits enclosed in quotation marks, such as "02608C010001".
- ;
- ;transceiver
- ; units:[n/a]
- ; range:[onboard,external]
- ; default:[onboard]
- ;
- ; Identifies the transceiver on the network adapter card. The
- ; value is either onboard or external (for a DEC/Intel/Xerox
- ; (DIX) connection).
- ;
- ;xmitbufs
- ; units:[integer]
- ; range:[1-2]
- ; default:[2]
- ;
- ; Indicates the number of 146-byte transmit buffers to allocate
- ; on the adapter card. Allocating a second transmit buffer may improve
- ; transmit performance while reducing the amount of memory available
- ; for storing received packets.
