NDIS 2/NDIS3 Enhanced Mode Driver Keywords --------------------------------------------- BUSTYPE (BUS_TO_SCAN) --------------------- Specifies the the PCI bus type. By default, the NDIS 2.01 driver automatically determines the bus type when it loads into memory. In rare cases, depending on the PCI BIOS, the auto-scan feature may fail. If this happens, try specifying the bus type using this keyword. Syntax: BUSTYPE = Values: PCI - PCI bus type number 1 PCI1 - PCI bus type number 5 PCI2 - PCI bus type number 6 Default: PCI Example: ;PROTOCOL.INI for LANtastic Version 6.00 ;using the Allied Telesyn AT-2450/2700 Series PCI Ethernet ;Adapter ; [PROTMAN] DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$ DYNAMIC = YES [ATINIC_NIF] DriverName = ATINIC$ BUSTYPE = PCI1 FDUP ---- Enables full duplex operation. Ensure the link partner, i.e. hub or other network adapter, is capable and configured for full duplex as well. If this keyword is present, it overrides the TP keyword. Syntax: FDUP = Values: OFF, AUI, UTP Default: OFF Example: ;PROTOCOL.INI for LANtastic Version 6.00 ;using the Allied Telesyn AT-2450/2700 Series PCI Ethernet ;Adapter ; [PROTMAN] DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$ DYNAMIC = YES [ATINIC_NIF] DriverName = ATINIC$ FDUP = UTP (enables full duplex on UTP port) NETADDRESS (LAA - locally administered address) ----------------------------------------------- This parameter overrides the network address of the network adapter card. The value of this parameter is a hexadecimal string of 12 digits, as in 00001A180123. The address must be unique among all other network adapter addresses on the network. Syntax: NETADDRESS = Example: ;PROTOCOL.INI for LANtastic Version 6.00 ;using the Allied Telesyn AT-2450/2700 Series PCI Ethernet ;Adapter ; [PROTMAN] DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$ DYNAMIC = YES [ATINIC_NIF] DriverName = ATINIC$ NETADDRESS = 0000f4000001 RXBUFFERS --------- Controls the amount of memory allocated for buffering packets received from the network. Be aware that the higher the value, the more conventional memory the driver uses. Each buffer allocates 1.5 Kbytes of conventional memory. Syntax: RXBUFFERS = Values: 1-8 Default: 8 Example: ;PROTOCOL.INI for LANtastic Version 6.00 ;using the Allied Telesyn AT-2450/2700 Series PCI Ethernet ;Adapter ; [PROTMAN] DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$ DYNAMIC = YES [ATINIC_NIF] DriverName = ATINIC$ RXBUFFERS = 4 TXBUFFERS --------- Controls the amount of memory allocated for buffering packets to be transmitted on the network. Be aware that the higher the value, the more conventional memory the driver uses. Each buffer allocates 1.5 Kbytes of conventional memory. Syntax: RXBUFFERS = Values: 1-8 Default: 8 Example: ;PROTOCOL.INI for LANtastic Version 6.00 ;using the Allied Telesyn AT-2450/2700 Series PCI Ethernet ;Adapter ; [PROTMAN] DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$ DYNAMIC = YES [ATINIC_NIF] DriverName = ATINIC$ TXBUFFERS = 4 TP -- Note: This keyword only applies to the AT-2450T/AT/BT/FT The TP keyword forces the adapter to use the twisted pair port regardless of how the adapter was configured using SETUP. For instance, if the adapter has both a UTP and a fiber port, this keyword will override any hardware setting for port, and enable the UTP port. Syntax: TP Values: keyword present or not present Default: not present Example: ;PROTOCOL.INI for LANtastic Version 6.00 ;using the Allied Telesyn AT-2450/2700 Series PCI Ethernet ;Adapter ; [PROTMAN] DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$ DYNAMIC = YES [ATINIC_NIF] DriverName = ATINIC$ TP II. Novell NetWare DOS ODI Driver NET.CFG Keywords ----------------------------------------------- FRAME ----- Specifies the Ethernet frame type used to communicate on the Novell network. The first frame type listed is bound to the transport protocol. Syntax: FRAME Values: ETHERNET_802.2 ETHERNET_802.3 ETHERNET_II ETHERNET_SNAP Default: ETHERNET_802.2 Example: Link Driver ATNIC Frame Ethernet_802.2 NetWare DOS Requester First Network Drive = F NODE ADDRESS ------------ Allows the network administrator to override the factory set MAC address. Make sure to use a unique 12-digit number, and that the second digit is a 2 to denote an LAA (locally administered) address. Syntax: NODE ADDRESS 0200f4000001 Example NET.CFG: Link Driver ATNIC Frame Ethernet_802.2 Node Address 0200f4000001 NetWare DOS Requester First Network Drive = F SLOT ---- Provides the PCI slot number where the AT-2450/2700 is installed. This parameter is only required in systems where multiple AT-2450/2700s are installed. Consult the system manufacturer's documentation for information pertaining to system specific slot numbering. Make sure all keywords are indented by at least one space in the Link Driver section. Syntax: slot Values = 1 - 8 Default: not present - driver auto-scans PCI bus for adapter Example NET.CFG: Link Driver ATNIC Slot 3 Frame Ethernet_802.3 NetWare DOS Requester First Network Drive = F
