Configuration parameters for Q57.LAN driver

Configuration parameters for Q57.LAN driver include:

•TxDescriptors=

o This keyword is to initialize Descriptor resources on the adapter for transmits. o Recommended Min = 100

o Max = 512

o Default = 200

NOTE: Min = 1 when used with DOS Client32 and when Keyword P3=1 or 2.

•RxBuffers=

o This keyword is to pre-allocate receive ECBs & Receive adapter resources. This setting may be affected by the NetWare server maximum/minimum packet receive buffer settings.

o Recommended Min = 32 o Max = 512

o Default = 200

NOTE: Min = 1 when used with DOS Client32 and when Keyword P3=1 or 2.

•Speed=

o This keyword is to force the line speed of the adapter. When this keyword is used, the switch to which the adapter cable is connected must be forced. If not, the adapter and switch may run at different duplex modes. It is important to have the switch and adapter set properly. The best way to ensure good connectivity is to not set the speed keyword and allow for automatic link setup (auto-negotiation).

o Choices are: AUTO, 10FD,10HD, 100FD, 100HD

o Default is Auto. (Note that 1000 FD is only auto-detected at this time.)

•Link=

o This keyword is only used to allow the adapter to negotiate a specific or forced line speed with a switch that is not forced, but instead setup for auto-negotiation. It is best to allow for auto- negotiation of the card and switch by not setting this keyword or the speed keyword. Only use this keyword if the speed keyword is set to something other than AUTO.

o Choices are: AUTO, FORCE

o Default is FORCE because the speed keyword is usually used when a switch and the adapter speeds are both forced to a specific value.

•RxTicks=
