- PROTOCOL.INI for the Proteon ProNET-4/16 p1392
-
-
- The p1392 is a Token Ring ISA 16-bit Bus Master adapter. The low-level MAC
- code for the p1392 is contained in the PRORAPM.DWN file, which must be
- downloaded into RAM on the card.
-
- This readme explains the valid settings for parameters in the PROTOCOL.INI
- file for the p1392 NDIS drivers.
-
- PROTOCOL.INI PARAMETERS
- -----------------------
-
- drivername
- units:[n/a]
- range:[NDIS39XR] (for DOS), [NDI39XR$, NDI39XR2$, ...] (for OS/2)
- default:[NDIS39XR] (for DOS), [NDI39XR$] (for OS/2)
- requirement: a must
-
- DRIVERNAME Identifies the network device driver. In multiple instances
- case, DRIVERNAME is NDI39XR$ for the first token-ring driver,
- NDI39XR2$ for the second, and so on.
-
-
- netaddress
- units:[hex]
- range:[12 hex digits]
- default:[n/a]
- requirement: optional
-
- NETADDRESS Overrides the network burned-in-address of the adapter. This
- entry should only be used if there are duplicate addresses on
- the network. The network address value is a hexadecimal string
- of 12 digits enclosed in double quotes. An example of a
- network address is:
-
- NETADDRESS="400001261835"
-
-
- maxtransmits
- units:[integer]
- range:[3-50]
- default:[40]
- requirement: optional
-
- MAXTRANSMITS Specifies the maximum number of buffers that can be queued for
- transmission at one time. Used to fine tune driver performance
- or compatibility.
-
-
- intlevel
- units:[integer]
- range:[3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12]
- default:[5]
- requirement: a must
-
- INTLEVEL Specifies the hardware interrupt level on the p1392.
-
-
- iobase
- units:[hex integer]
- range:[0xA20 - 0xFE20]
- default:[0xA20]
- requirement: a must
-
- IOBASE Specifies the p1392 adapter I/O base address. Examples of
- valid I/O base address: 0xA20, 0x1A20,0x2A20,0x3A20.
-
-
- dmachannel
- units:[integer]
- range:[5,6,7,0]
- default:[5]
- requirement: a must
-
- DMACHANNEL Configures hardware DMA channel on the p1392. Valid inputs
- are: 5,6,7,and 0. 0 = pseudo-DMA mode.
-
-
- linkspeed
- units:[integer]
- range:[4,16]
- default:[16]
- requirement: a must
-
- LINKSPEED Configures the hardware for either 4 or 16 Mbps data transfer
- rate.
-
-
- media
- units:[n/a]
- range:[STP, UTP]
- default:[STP]
- requirement: a must
-
- MEDIA Configures the hardware for either STP or UTP cable type.
-
-
- dmaclock
- units:[interger | string]
- range:[4,8,BUS]
- default:[8]
- requirement: optional
-
- DMACLOCK Configures the hardware DMA clock speed on the p1392. Valid
- inputs: 4, 8, or BUS (for system clock).
-
-
- saen
- units:[n/a]
- range:[ON,OFF]
- default:[ON]
- requirement: optional
-
- SAEN Configures the hardware SAEN function on the p1392. Valid
- inputs: ON(enabled) and OFF(disabled). In most cases, the SAEN
- should be enabled. However, if your system is not completely
- ISA-compatible, you may need to disable the SAEN.
