Appendix F. Novell NetWare DOS ODI driver parameters

	The following parameters can be configured in the NET.CFG file.
Table 11. DOS and OS/2 Configurable Driver Parameters in the NET.CFG file.
Parameter	Explanation
FRAME	This keyword defines the frame type used with the adapter.
	Valid values:
	v TOKEN-RING MSB
	v TOKEN-RING LSB
	v TOKEN-RING_SNAP MSB
	v TOKEN-RING_SNAP LSB
	The default value is TOKEN-RING MSB.
NODE ADDRESS	To set a locally administered address for the adapter, type the local address you want to
	use. The local address must contain 12 hexadecimal characters and can be specified in
	either most-significant bit (MSB), which is the default, or least-significant bit (LSB) format. To
	specify an MSB node address, the letter Mimmediately follows the last digit of the node
	address. To specify an LSB node address, the letter L immediately follows the last digit of
	the node address.
	If a node address is specified in MSB format, the characters must be within the range
	X'400000000000'–X'7FFFFFFFFFFF'. To specify a node address in MSB format, append an
	“M” to the end of the address (for example, 400000000001M). This address specified in LSB
	format would be X'020000000080L'.
			Attention
		Do not assign the same local address to two or more stations. Severe station
		communication or network failures may occur when two or more stations are assigned
		the same address.
	Note: If you do not assign a locally administered address, the adapter uses the universally
	administered address (the address encoded in the adapter memory at the factory). The
	universally administered address appears on a label on the adapter. See Figure 2 on
	page 44 for an illustration.
SLOT	This keyword defines the slot number of the corresponding adapter in the computer. Slots

must be assigned sequentially. This assignment is used to avoid conflict with other adapters. Valid values: 10001 or 10002

The default value is 10001.
