- Protocol.ini for the NOVELL NE3200 EISA Ethernet
-
- PROTOCOL.INI PARAMETERS
-
- This is an example PROTOCOL.INI file for the Novell NE3200 EISA Ethernet
- driver. The NE3200 section shows examples of the NE3200 EISA Ethernet
- 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 = NE3200" line in the [netbeui]
- section.
-
- Note that the EISA configuration must be set to "edge-triggered." The
- edge triggering option can be selected using the EISA/system configuration
- program and the NE3200 configuration file. For more information about
- selecting the triggering option, see the documentation.
-
- 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 NE3200 parameters"). A parameter need not be specified
- in your PROTOCOL.INI if its default value is satisfactory.
-
- drivername
- units:[n/a]
- range:[NE3200$, NE32002$,...]
- default:[NE3200$]
-
- DRIVERNAME Identifies the network device driver. DRIVERNAME is the base
- portion of the filename plus a digit if there is more than one NE3200
- driver. DRIVERNAME is NE3200$ for the first driver, NE32002$ for the second,
- and so on.
-
-
- netaddress
- units:[hex]
- range:[12 hex digits]
- default:[n/a]
-
- NETADDRESS Overrides the network address of the NIC. 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
- (" ").
-
-
- maxrequests
- units:[integer]
- range:[3-10]
- default:[5]
-
- MAXREQUESTS Specifies the maximum number of general requests that can be
- pending at one time.
-
-
- maxtransmits
- units:[integer]
- range:[3-100]
- default:[5]
-
- MAXTRANSMITS Specifies the maximum number of buffers that can be queued for
- transmission at one time.
-
-
- maxframesize
- units:[integer]
- range:[256-1514]
- default:[1514]
-
-
- MAXFRAMESIZE Specifies the size of the RECEIVE and TRANSMIT buffers, in
- bytes. This limit refers to that portion of the frame from the destination
- address field through the last byte of data. The frame check sequence field
- is not included.
-
-
- maxmulticast
- units:[integer]
- range:[0-50]
- default:[20]
-
- MAXMULTICAST Specifies the maximum number of multicast addresses that the
- driver will allow.
-
-
- maxreceives
- units:[integer]
- range:[3-30]
- default:[15]
-
- MAXRECEIVES Specifies the maximum number of receive buffers that can be
- queued at one time.
