- ;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".
