;Protocol.ini for the 3Com EtherLink ;Ethernet cards ; ;PROTOCOL.INI PARAMETERS ; ; This is a sample PROTOCOL.INI file for the ELNK 3Com Etherlink NDIS MAC ; driver. The [ELNK] section shows examples of ELNK 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 = ELNK" 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 ELNK parameters"). A parameter need not be specified ; in your PROTOCOL.INI if its default value is satisfactory. ; ;drivername ; units:[n/a] ; range:[elnk$,elnk2$,elnk3$,...] ; default:[elnk$] ; ; This parameter's value must be ELNK$, or, in the case where ; multiple adapters are installed, ELNK$ for the first adapter's ; drivername, ELNK2$ for the second one, ELNK3$ for the third, and ; so on. ; ;The following entries are optional under the [ELNK] section. ; ;dmachannel ; units:[integer] ; range:[none-3] ; default:[1 for 8088 and 8086, none for 80286 and 80386] ; ; Indicates the current DMA jumper configuration of the network ; adapter card. The value can be none, 1, 2, or 3. When the value ; is none, the driver uses program I/O instead of DMA for data ; transfers. ; ;dmamode ; units:[n/a] ; range:[byte,burst] ; default:[burst] ; ; Determines the DMA mode of the network adapter card. The adapter ; runs faster in burst mode. The random access memory (RAM) refresh ; rate is sometimes delayed, however, so byte mode is available in case ; the refresh rate causes problems with applications or hardware. ; ;interrupt ; units:[integer] ; range:[2-7] ; default:[3] ; ; On an 80286 or 80386 computer, specifying interrupt level 2 ; will be redirected to interrupt level 9 because the cascaded programmable ; interrupt control (PIC) is already using interrupt level 2. ; ;ioaddress ; units:[hex] ; range:[200-3F0] ; default:[300] ; ; Indicates the current I/O address jumper configuration of ; the network adapter card. The value selected on the adapter card must ; equal this entry's value. If this entry does not match the adapter ; card's switch settings, the driver reports an error. ; ;maxrequests ; units:[integer] ; range:[8-32] ; default:[8] ; ; Sets the number of general request queue entries. General ; requests are SetPacketFilter, AddMulticastAddress, RequestInterrupt, ; and so forth. ; ;maxtransmits ; units:[integer] ; range:[8-50] ; default:[12] ; ; Specifies the number of transmit queue entries in this driver. ; On a server, this number should be equal to the transmit window size ; times the maximum number of sessions. ; ;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 of this entry is a hexadecimal ; string of 12 digits enclosed in quotation marks, such as "02608C010001". ;
