AdapterName "DCA IRMAtrac Token-Ring Adapter/Convertible"
NumBytes 4
NamedItem
Prompt "Adapter Data Rate"
choice " 04 Mbps " pos[0] = xxxxxx1xb
choice " 16 Mbps " pos[0] = xxxxxx0xb
Help
"Choose 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps. Default: 4 Mbps. The data
rate you choose must match the data rate of your token-ring
network, or your adapter will fail to insert into the ring.
If your RIM operates at a fixed speed (the speed is not
software-selectable), this parameter is ignored."
NamedItem
Prompt "Cable Type"
choice " Shielded Twisted Pair " pos[0] = xxxxx0xxb
choice " Unshielded Twisted Pair " pos[0] = xxxxx1xxb
Help
"Choose Shielded Twisted Pair or Unshielded Twisted Pair.
Default: Shielded Twisted Pair. For Shielded Twisted Pair,
or STP, use the DB-9 connector to attach the token-ring cable
to the IRMAtrac adapter. For Unshielded Twisted Pair, or UTP,
use the telephone type connector to attach the token-ring cable
to the IRMAtrac adapter. Once the configuration takes effect,
the IRMAtrac connector for the cable type not selected is
disabled. If your RIM supports only 4 Mbps operation or has
only one type of connector, this parameter is ignored."

"Choose one of the following interrupt level values: 2, 10, 11,
3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 (from highest to lowest priority). Default: 3.
The interrupt level enables the adapter to request resources from
the PC's CPU and determines the priority the CPU uses to answer
requests. Make sure that the IRMAtrac adapter does not have the
same interrupt level as another adapter. (The Set configuration
program does not indicate interrupt conflicts. You need to manually
check for conflicts.) If an interrupt conflict occurs while the
IRMAtrac adapter is operating, a variety of malfunctions can result."

"Choose a DMA arbitration level to enable Bus-Master DMA, or
choose PIO (Programmed I/O). Default: DMA Arb 04. The DMA
arbitration level ranges from 0 to 14, with 0 as the highest
priority and 14 as the lowest priority. If two devices want to
use the DMA channel at the same time, the highest priority device
wins. Each adapter in your system must have a unique arbitration
level. An asterisk (*) next to your arbitration selection means
there is a conflict. If there is a conflict, you must choose a
new arbitration level. If you choose automatic configuration,
the Set configuration program searches for an arbitration level
that is not in use, starting with arbitration levels 04 through
14, then 00 through 03. If no arbitration levels are available,
PIO is chosen. In most cases, you will not notice the effect of
the arbitration level on IRMAtrac's performance."

Prompt "Fairness for Bus-Master DMA"
choice " ON " pos[2] = xxxxxx1xb
choice " OFF " pos[2] = xxxxxx0xb
Help
"Choose fairness ON or fairness OFF. Default: ON. Fairness
determines how the IRMAtrac adapter contends for the DMA
bus through its arbitration level. This field is valid only
for Bus-Master DMA operation. If fairness is ON, the adapter
equitably shares the channel with other DMA devices. If
fairness is OFF, lower-priority DMA devices may be excluded
from the bus. In most cases, however, you will not notice
the effect that the fairness setting has on IRMAtrac's
performance."
NamedItem
Prompt "Bus Release for Bus-Master DMA"
choice " Delay " pos[2] = xxxxx1xxb
choice " Immediate " pos[2] = xxxxx0xxb
Help
"Choose Delay or Immediate for bus release. Default: Delay.
The bus release setting determines how quickly the IRMAtrac
adapter releases the bus after another device issues a
DMA bus request. This field is valid only for Bus-Master DMA
operation. If bus release is Delay, the adapter can hold the
bus for a maximum of 7.8 microseconds before releasing it.
If bus release is Immediate, the adapter releases the bus
immediately after a DMA bus request is issued. Delay offers
the best performance, because the IRMAtrac adapter can hold
the bus for a longer period of time without interruption.
If you specify Delay, other devices' performance may
degrade because they cannot access the bus as quickly.
However, in most cases, you will not notice the effect that
the bus release setting has on IRMAtrac's performance."

"Choose an I/O address range for the IRMAtrac adapter. Default:
0A20-0A3F. You can choose from eight different address ranges.
The I/O address range should not conflict with another adapter's
address. If an asterisk (*) appears next to your selection,
the address range conflicts with another adapter. You can
change either IRMAtrac's address range or the address of the
other adapter that has the same address. If you choose automatic
configuration, the Set configuration program chooses an address
that does not conflict with another device in your system."

boot ROM support. Default: DISABLED. You can choose

another device. You can change the address of either the boot ROM
or the other device."
