;Protocol.ini for the 3Com TokenLink ;Token-Ring cards ; ;PROTOCOL.INI PARAMETERS ; ; This is a sample PROTOCOL.INI file for the TLNK 3Com TokenLink NDIS MAC ; driver. The [tlnk] section shows examples of TLNK 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 = tlnk" 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 tlnk parameters"). A parameter need not be specified ; in your PROTOCOL.INI if its default value is satisfactory. ; ;drivername ; units:[n/a] ; range:[tlnk$,tlnk2$,tlnk3$,...] ; default:[tlnk$] ; ; This parameter's value must be tlnk$, or, in the case where ; multiple adapters are installed, tlnk$ for the first adapter's ; drivername, tlnk2$ for the second one, tlnk3$ for the third, and ; so on. ; ;The following entries are optional under the [tlnk] section. ; ;dmachannel (80286 and 80386 computers only) ; units:[integer] ; range:[0,1,3,5,6,7] ; default:[1] ; ; Sets the DMA channel on the network adapter card. This entry ; is ignored when the adapter card is in an 8086 or 8088 computer, or ; in an 8-bit slot of an 80286 or 80386 computer. Installing the card ; in a 16-bit slot improves performance. ; ; The value can be 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, or 7. When the value is 0, the driver ; uses string I/O instead of DMA for data transfers. Channels 5, 6, ; and 7 are available only if the adapter card is ASSY 3410-03 revision ; A or later. ; ;interrupt ; units:[integer] ; range:[2-14] ; default:[3] ; ; Indicates the interrupt level of the network adapter card. ; ; NOTE: ; For an 80286 or 80386 computer, specifying interrupt level ; 2 will be redirected to interrupt level 9 because the cascaded PIC ; is already using interrupt level 2. ; ;These are the possible interrupt values: ; ;Value Compatible Computers ;----- -------------------- ;2,3,4,5 8086 and 8088 computers. ;3,4,5,9 80286 and 80386 computer, 8-bit slot. ;3,4,5,9,10,11,12,14,15 80286 and 80386 computer, 16-bit slot. ; ;(Levels 1014 are available only if the adapter card is ASSY 3410-03 ;revision A or later.) ; ;ioaddress ; units:[hex] ; range:[300-350] ; default:[300] ; ; Indicates the current I/O address jumper configuration of ; the network adapter card. This entry must match the adapter card's ; switch settings. Possible values are 300, 310, 330, and 350. ; ;maxtransmits ; units:[integer] ; range:[8-40] ; default:[8] ; ; Specifies the number of transmit queue entries in this driver. ; For a server, multiply the transmit window size by 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". ; ;productid ; units:[hex] ; range:[36 hex digits] ; default:[n/a] ; ; Identifies the specific adapter card. The value of this entry ; is a string of up to 36 hexadecimal digits (must be an even number). ; Refer to the IBM Token-Ring architecture manual for more details. ; The default value for this entry is 0110F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0. ; ;speed ; units:[n/a] ; range:[6-10] ; default:[tlnk$] ; ; Sets the computer's clock to maximize data transfer between ; the computer and the TokenLink card. You may have to experiment with ; this entry to get optimal performance. If you set the entry incorrectly, ; the TokenLink card may not run. The value can be any of the following: ; ; Value Meaning ; ----- ------- ; 6 Insert two wait states on the bus. ; 8 Insert one wait state on the bus. ; 10 Don't insert any wait states on the bus. ;
