AT-2900 Series Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapters Installation Guide

TxPacketsPer

This is to enable the use of allowing an interrupt to occur after a specific amount of packets are transmitted. Min = 0, disabled

Max = 100 Default is 20

RxPacketsPer

This is to enable the use of allowing an interrupt to occur after a specific amount of packets are received. Min = 0, disabled

Max = 100 Default is 75

CheckSum

This is to enable or disable the transmit & receive checksum off loading feature.The checksum off loading support is only for TCP/IP packets, for that reason it is defaulted to OFF.

Choices are: OFF, ON, TX, RX Default value is OFF

TxFlow

This keyword allows enabling/disabling of TxFlow control. Choices are:

ON, OFF

Default value is OFF.

RxFlow

This keyword allows enabling/disabling of RxFlow control. Choices are:

ON, OFF

Default value is OFF.

PDriver

Allows for the driver to operate in persistent driver mode. Only use if adapter is placed in a Hot Plug PCI slot and only if required to swap with an exact same board.

Choices are:

OFF, ON

Default value is OFF.

NODE

This is a Novell NetWare keyword.

This keyword will allow an input Ethernet node address to replace the adapter factory programmed Ethernet node address until a subsequent reboot.

Choices are: NODE=nnnnnnnnnnnn
