- ;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.
