NCR DOS AND OS/2 STARLAN MAC PARAMETERS FOR PROTOCOL.INI
DRIVERNAME:
This parameter's value must be "STARLAN$".
INTERRUPT: (Default = 3; Valid values = 3, 4, 5, 7, 9)
This parameter specifies which IRQ level will be used by the
adapter-to-PC interrupt.
PORT_ADDRESS: (Default = 0x380; Valid values = 0x380, 0x388, 0x390)
This parameter specifies the hexadecimal value of the port address
used to access the StarLAN hardware.
NODE_ADDRESS:
This parameter specifies the node address of the terminal on the
network, overriding the Permanent Station Address. It is a string
of 12 ASCII hexadecimal digits. The default value is the Burned
in Address read from the adapter's ROM.
FUNC_ADDRESS: (Default = NEW; Valid values = NEW, OLD)
This parameter which indicates which type of NETBIOS functional
address should be used. If "NEW" is specified, the address will
be compatible with Microsoft LAN Manager. If "OLD" is specified,
the address used will be compatible with the address used in the
first version of NCR StarLAN software. Since the two addresses
are not compatible, "OLD" should be specified ONLY if compatibility
with an existing network using the first version of NCR StarLAN
software is desired (without upgrading the software on existing
terminals).
LAN_ID_ROM: (Default = 0x300; Valid values = 0x180, 0x300)
This parameter specifies the hexadecimal value of the LAN ID ROM
where the burned in address is stored.
EXTERNAL_ROM: (Default = disabled; Valid values = 0xD0000, 0xD8000)
This parameter specifies the hexadecimal value of the external ROM
on the StarLAN adapter. The external ROM is disabled if no value
is entered.
DMA_CHANNEL0: (Default = 3; Valid values = 1, 3)
This parameter specifies the DMA channel used for Request 0
(receive). System DRQ 1 and DRQ 3 may be used in the PC. This
value must be different from the one used for DMA_CHANNEL1.
DMA_CHANNEL1: (Default = 1; Valid values = 1, 3)
This parameter specifies the DMA channel used for Request 1
(transmit). System DRQ 1 and DRQ 3 may be used in the PC.
This value must be different from the one used for DMA_CHANNEL0.
NUM_GENREQ: (Default = 10; Min = 10; Max = 500)
This parameter specifies the number of General Requests that the
driver should be able to queue.
NUM_RCVS: (Default = 5; Min = 3; Max = 20)
This parameter specifies the number of received frames that the
driver should be able to queue. The received frames are queued
for the case when the protocol driver has turned indications off,
prohibiting the MAC from calling ReceiveChain immediately.
NUM_XMT_BUFS: (Default = 3; Min = 2; Max = 8)
This parameter specifies the number of transmit buffers that the
driver should have. It defines the number of TransmitChain
requests that the MAC driver can accept without giving an
"OUT_OF_RESOURCE" response.
RCV_BUF_SIZE: (Default = 4500; Min = 1600; Max = 10000)
This parameter specifies the size of the MAC driver's receive
buffer.
