NET.CFG Options Reference

Link Driver Option

	Replace hex_starting_address with the
	hexadecimal physical (absolute) address of the
	memory used by the network board.
	Replace the hex_length with the memory address
	range (in hexadecimal paragraphs, with each
	paragraph being 16 bytes) used by the network
	board. Usually, the hex length is not needed.
Default	#1
Example	When the node address on a network board is set from
	D0000 to D4000 (bytes), the starting address is D0000 and
	the range is 400 hexadecimal paragraphs.
	Therefore, for an NE2000 network board, you
	would place the following lines in your NET.CFG
	file:
	link driver ne2000
	mem d0000 400

Assign each board a unique memory range.

Be sure you don’t assign a range that is already used by other hardware. (VGA monitors commonly use A0000-C6FFF and XVGA monitors commonly use A0000-CFFFF.)

NODE ADDRESS hex_address [mode]

Overrides the hard-coded node address in the LAN driver, if the hardware allows it. The new address is used to program the network board.

Changing the node address for a network board can create conflicts with other LAN drivers. Use the hard-coded node address whenever possible.

You can use either the canonical or non-canonical mode. Use the following keywords to determine the mode:

•LSB (canonical addressing mode)

•MSB (non-canonical addressing mode)

2-36
