Chapter 5: Setting Up the NDIS Driver
Channels Functions
| Use the Channels section of the NDIS Driver Setup dialog box | |
| to create and configure channels for each logical adapter’s | |
| WAN and LAN network communications. | |
| For each channel, the IP/IPX column displays LEDs | |
| associated with the LAN protocol(s) routed through the | |
| channel. The IP LED represents the TCP/IP protocol, and the | |
| IPX LED represents the IPX/SPX protocol. The LED color is | |
| dynamically updated when the channel status changes. The | |
| following table describes the channel LEDs. | |
