- ;Token-Ring cards
- ;This readme is for the following network adapter cards
- ;
- ; IBM Token-Ring Adpater
- ; IBM Token-Ring II
- ; IBM Token-Ring A
- ; IBM Token-Ring 16/4
- ; IBM Token-Ring 16/4 A

- ;PROTOCOL.INI PARAMETERS
- ;
- ; This is a sample PROTOCOL.INI file for the IBMTOK IBM Token-Ring Cards NDIS
- ; MAC driver. The [ibmtok] section shows examples of IBMTOK 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 = ibmtok" 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 ibmtok parameters"). A parameter need not be specified
- ; in your PROTOCOL.INI if its default value is satisfactory.
- ;
- ;drivername
- ; units:[n/a]
- ; range:[ibmtok$,ibmtok2$,ibmtok3$,...]
- ; default:[ibmtok$]
- ;
- ; This parameter's value must be ibmtok$, or, in the case where
- ; multiple adapters are installed, ibmtok$ for the first adapter's
- ; drivername, ibmtok2$ for the second one, ibmtok3$ for the third, and
- ; so on.
- ;
- ;The following entries are optional under the [ibmtok] section.
- ;
- ;earlyrelease
- ; units:[n/a]
- ; range:[n/a]
- ; default:[n/a]
- ;
- ; This entry specifies the early token release option
- ; for IBM Token-Ring 16/4 network adapter cards. This is a function
- ; that reduces the average time another network adapter must wait to
- ; gain access to the network. Cards that don't support early token release
- ; ignore this entry. This entry is not followed by an equal sign.
- ;
- ;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 is a hexadecimal string of 12
- ; digits enclosed in quotation marks. The address must be in the range
- ; 400000000000 through 40007FFFFFFF. For strict IBM compatibility, use
- ; only decimal digits (09), as in "400001020304".
- ;
- ;maxtransmits
- ; units:[integer]
- ; range:[6-50]
- ; default:[6]
- ;
- ; Sets the number of transmit queue entries in the driver. On
- ; a server, this should be equal to the transmit window size times the
- ; maximum number of sessions.
- ;
- ;primary or alternate
- ; units:[n/a]
- ; range:[n/a]
- ; default:[n/a]
- ;
- ; Identifies driver assignments if more than one Token-Ring
- ; network adapter card is installed. A primary entry denotes the
- ; first (primary) adapter card; alternate denotes the second
- ; adapter card. If these entries are missing, the ibmtok driver
- ; defaults to the first adapter it finds, trying primary first.
- ; This entry is not followed by an equal sign.
- ;
- ;productid
- ; units:[hex]
- ; range:[36 hex digits]
- ; default:[0110F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0]
- ;
- ; Identifies the specific adapter card. The value of this entry
- ; is a string of up to 36 hexadecimal digits (must be an even number).
- ; Refer to the IBM Token-Ring architecture manual for more details.
- ; The default value for this entry is 0110F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0.
- ;
- ;ram (Token-Ring Adapter and Token-Ring Adapter II only)
- ; units:[hex]
- ; range:[A000-F000]
- ; default:[See below]
- ;
- ; Specifies the physical RAM location on the adapter card if
- ; the default location is not adequate. The value of ram is a
- ; hexadecimal number between 0xA000 and 0xF000, located on an 8K boundary
- ; (for the Token-Ring adapter) or a 16K boundary (for the Token-Ring
- ; II adapter). The RAM location defaults to a location immediately following
- ; the read only memory (ROM) on the next appropriate boundary. For example,
- ; if the ROM is at its default location of 0xCC00, the RAM defaults
- ; to 0xCE00 (for the Token-Ring Adapter) and to 0xD000 (for the Token-Ring
- ; Adapter II).
- ;
- ; For strict compatibility with IBM defaults, set ram
- ; equal to 0xD800 for primary or 0xD400 for alternate.
- ; This parameter does not apply to the Token-Ring Adapter/A. With the
- ; Token-Ring 16/4 Adapter and the Token-Ring 16/4 Adapter/A cards, the
- ; use of RAM paging is not supported, and the RAM size is determined
- ; by the switch settings on the adapter.
- ;
- ;recvbufs
- ; units:[integer]
- ; range:[2-60]
- ; default:[2]
- ;
- ; Specifies the number of receive buffers to use. Any memory
- ; left on the adapter card is configured as extra receive buffers.
- ;
- ;recvbufsize
- ; units:[bytes]
- ; range:[256-17952]
- ; default:[256]
- ;
- ; Specifies the size of the receive buffers, in bytes. The value
- ; must be a multiple of 8. The maximum size of a receive buffer depends
- ; on the adapter card you are using. The original Token-Ring Adapter,
- ; Token-Ring Adapter II, and Token-Ring Adapter/A cards allow only 2040
- ; bytes. The newer Token-Ring 16/4 Adapter and Token-Ring 16/4 Adapter/A
- ; cards allow 4096 bytes at the 4-Mbits/sec. (MBPS) adapter setting
- ; and 17,952 bytes at the 16-MBPS setting. The minimum and default
- ; settings are both 256 bytes. Since the incoming packet can span multiple
- ; receive buffers, it is not usually necessary to change this entry.
- ; If the entry is set too high for the adapter hardware, a configuration
- ; error occurs.
- ;
- ;xmitbufs
- ; units:[integer]
- ; range:[1-2]
- ; default:[1]
- ;
- ; Specifies the number of transmit buffers to allocate.
- ;
- ;xmitbufsize
- ; units:[integer]
- ; range:[256-17952]
- ; default:[See below]
- ;
- ; Specifies the size of the transmit buffers, in bytes. The
- ; value must be a multiple of 8. The maximum size of a transmit buffer
- ; depends on the adapter card you are using. The original Token-Ring
- ; Adapter, Token-Ring Adapter II, and Token-Ring Adapter/A cards allow
- ; only 2040 bytes. The newer Token-Ring 16/4 Adapter and Token-Ring
- ; 16/4 Adapter/A cards allow 4096 bytes at the 4-MBPS adapter setting
- ; and 17,952 bytes at the 16-MBPS setting. The minimum value is 256
- ; bytes. The default is either 25% of available RAM on the adapter or
- ; the maximum transmit buffer size, whichever is smaller.
