NET.CFG Options Reference

Link Driver Option

Syntax

dma [#1 #2] channel_number

 

Enter the channel number to be used. You can specify

 

two DMA values.

 

 

Default

#1

 

 

Example

If the first configurable DMA channel on your NE2100 TM

 

network board uses DMA channel 3 and the second

 

configurable channel uses channel 4, you would place the

 

following lines in your NET.CFG file:

 

link driver ne2100

 

dma #1 3

 

dma #2 4

 

 

FRAME frame_type_name [addressing_mode]

Enables the frame types used by the LAN driver.

When the LAN driver initializes the network board, it creates a logical board for the frame type name that is specified. You can create multiple frame types concurrently on each client workstation.

This parameter also allows for configuration of the addressing mode for some LAN drivers on the basis of frame types. The following keywords determine the address mode:

•LSB canonical addressing mode

•MSB non-canonical addressing mode

For example, the frame type Token-Ring can be used in LSB.

Syntaxframe frame_type_name [addressing_mod]

Replace frame_type_name with the supported frame type of the network you are connecting to.

Replace addressing_mode with the address mode for your frame type.
