- NCR DOS AND OS/2 STARLAN MAC PARAMETERS FOR PROTOCOL.INI
-
-
- DRIVERNAME:
- This parameter's value must be "STARLAN$".
-
-
- INTERRUPT: (Default = 3; Valid values = 3, 4, 5, 7, 9)
- This parameter specifies which IRQ level will be used by the
- adapter-to-PC interrupt.
-
-
- PORT_ADDRESS: (Default = 0x380; Valid values = 0x380, 0x388, 0x390)
- This parameter specifies the hexadecimal value of the port address
- used to access the StarLAN hardware.
-
-
- NODE_ADDRESS:
- This parameter specifies the node address of the terminal on the
- network, overriding the Permanent Station Address. It is a string
- of 12 ASCII hexadecimal digits. The default value is the Burned
- in Address read from the adapter's ROM.
-
-
- FUNC_ADDRESS: (Default = NEW; Valid values = NEW, OLD)
- This parameter which indicates which type of NETBIOS functional
- address should be used. If "NEW" is specified, the address will
- be compatible with Microsoft LAN Manager. If "OLD" is specified,
- the address used will be compatible with the address used in the
- first version of NCR StarLAN software. Since the two addresses
- are not compatible, "OLD" should be specified ONLY if compatibility
- with an existing network using the first version of NCR StarLAN
- software is desired (without upgrading the software on existing
- terminals).
-
-
- LAN_ID_ROM: (Default = 0x300; Valid values = 0x180, 0x300)
- This parameter specifies the hexadecimal value of the LAN ID ROM
- where the burned in address is stored.
-
-
- EXTERNAL_ROM: (Default = disabled; Valid values = 0xD0000, 0xD8000)
- This parameter specifies the hexadecimal value of the external ROM
- on the StarLAN adapter. The external ROM is disabled if no value
- is entered.
-
-
- DMA_CHANNEL0: (Default = 3; Valid values = 1, 3)
- This parameter specifies the DMA channel used for Request 0
- (receive). System DRQ 1 and DRQ 3 may be used in the PC. This
- value must be different from the one used for DMA_CHANNEL1.
-
-
- DMA_CHANNEL1: (Default = 1; Valid values = 1, 3)
- This parameter specifies the DMA channel used for Request 1
- (transmit). System DRQ 1 and DRQ 3 may be used in the PC.
- This value must be different from the one used for DMA_CHANNEL0.
-
-
- NUM_GENREQ: (Default = 10; Min = 10; Max = 500)
- This parameter specifies the number of General Requests that the
- driver should be able to queue.
-
-
- NUM_RCVS: (Default = 5; Min = 3; Max = 20)
- This parameter specifies the number of received frames that the
- driver should be able to queue. The received frames are queued
- for the case when the protocol driver has turned indications off,
- prohibiting the MAC from calling ReceiveChain immediately.
-
-
- NUM_XMT_BUFS: (Default = 3; Min = 2; Max = 8)
- This parameter specifies the number of transmit buffers that the
- driver should have. It defines the number of TransmitChain
- requests that the MAC driver can accept without giving an
- "OUT_OF_RESOURCE" response.
-
-
- RCV_BUF_SIZE: (Default = 4500; Min = 1600; Max = 10000)
- This parameter specifies the size of the MAC driver's receive
- buffer.
