Using Keywords for the Drivers The Protocol.ini file contains certain keywords that are used by the
BXND20X.dos driver. These keywords are listed below:
BusNum. Specifies the number of the PCI bus on which the network
adapter is located. This keyword requires a value ranging from 0 to
255.
DevNum. Specifies the device number assigned to the network
adapter when it is configured by the PCI BIOS. This keyword requires
a value ranging from 0 to 255.
FuncNum or PortNum. Specifies the PCI function or port number
assigned to the network controller. This keyword requires a value
ranging from 0 to 7.
Note
The BusNum, DevNum, and FuncNum (or PortNum) keywords are
needed when multiple adapters are installed in the server and when
a specific controller must be loaded in a certain order. These
keywords are used concurrently and are included for manufacturing
purposes. Do not use them unless you are familiar with how to
configure PCI devices. A PCI device scan utility is needed to find this
information.
LineSpeed. Specifies the speed of the network connection in Mbit/s.
The values are 10, 100, or 1000 Mbit/s. Technically, a line speed of
1000 Mbit/s cannot be forced and is achievable only through
auto-negotiation. For the sake of simplicity, the driver performs auto-
negotiation when the line speed is set to a value of 1000.
Note
The LineSpeed variable is not available on the AT-VNC10S
adapter.
Duplex. Specifies the duplex mode of the network adapter. Requires a
setting of either Half or Full. When this keyword is used, the
LineSpeed keyword must also be used. If neither keyword is used, the
network adapter defaults to auto-negotiation mode.
Note
The LineSpeed variable is not available on the AT-VNC10S
adapter.
