- Title: Packet Size and the SMC PC 550 Arcnet Card
-
- Bulletin Date:2-20-91 Revision: 1.0
-
- Category:CONFIG Sub-Category: ROUTE
- S/W Product:NWMAC H/W Product: SMC PC 550
- Version Affected:1.1, 2.0
-
- Operating System: 3.1 Rev:
- System and Hardware:
- Application: SMC PC 550 Driver Version 2.13
-
- Symptom: When both the print AND file services are installed, the
- APS and AQS VAPs report an inability to open/read the
- settings files ->128. Error 128 is a "file in use error"
- so on the surface it looks as though the print service VAPs
- are competing for the use of the settings file. However,
- the file services work fine, as do the print services if
- each is loaded in the absence of the other.
-
- Problem: The SMC 2.13 TURBO driver allows the user to select the
- packet size to be used. There are four options ranging
- from a .5KB packet size to a 4KB packet size. When the
- .5KB packet size is used, this printing failure occurs.
-
- Solution or
- Work-around: When the 4KB packet size was used, both the file AND print
- services worked concurrently in the same bridge machine.
-
- The two other packet sizes were not tested. Also this may
- be applicable to other Arcnet drivers which provide
- configurable packet sizes.
