Parameter PDriver = RxBuffers = TxDescriptors = RxFlow = TxFlow = Slot = n Speed = n Jumbo = Link= Options Description Default = OFF Selections are: OFF, ON Allows driver to operate in persistent driver mode. Persistent driver mode is supported under NetWare 5.x only. Use only if adapter is placed in a Hot Plug PCI slot and only if required to swap with an exact board. Default = 200 Recommended Min = 32 Pre-allocates ECB resources on the adapter for receiving packets Max = 512 Min = 1 when used with DOS Client32 and when Keywrod P3-1 or 2.

Default = OFF Allows enabling/disabling of RxFlow control. Selections are: ON, OFF Default = OFF Allows enabling/disabling of TxFlow control. Selections are: ON, OFF Identifies the slot number for the specific adapter currently being configured. This parameter is not necessary if only a single adapter is installed. If link negotiation has been disabled, specifies port speed to be either Auto, 10HD or 10FD, 100HD or 100FD. Set maximum physical receive packet Size = 18000 in the STARTUP.NCF. Choices are Jumbo = 1514-9000. This keyword is only supported on NetWare 6.x. Enables/disables Jumbo Frame support. When enabled, jumbo packets of up to 9000 bytes are supported. Not supported on NC1020 adapters. Default=FORCE Selections are: AUTO, FORCE 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 autonegotiation. It is best to allow for autonegotiation 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.

Parameter
Options
Description
PDriver =
Default = OFF
Selections are: OFF, ON
Allows driver to operate in persistent driver
mode. Persistent driver mode is supported
under NetWare 5.x only. Use only if adapter
is placed in a Hot Plug PCI slot and only if
required to swap with an exact board.
RxBuffers =
Default = 200
Recommended Min = 32
Max = 512
Min = 1 when used with DOS
Client32 and when Keywrod
P3-1 or 2.
Pre-allocates ECB resources on the adapter for
receiving packets
TxDescriptors =
Default = 200
Recommended Min = 100
Max = 512
Min = 1 when
used with DOS
Client32 and when
Keywrod P3-1 or
2.
Pre-allocates ECB resources on the adapter for
transmitting packets.
RxFlow =
Default = OFF
Selections are: ON, OFF
Allows enabling/disabling of RxFlow control.
TxFlow =
Default = OFF
Selections are: ON, OFF
Allows enabling/disabling of TxFlow control.
Slot = n
Identifies the slot number for the specific
adapter currently being configured. This
parameter is not necessary if only a single
adapter is installed.
Speed = n
If link negotiation has been disabled, specifies
port speed to be either Auto, 10HD or 10FD,
100HD or 100FD.
Jumbo =
Set maximum physical receive
packet Size = 18000 in the
STARTUP.NCF. Choices are
Jumbo = 1514–9000. This
keyword is only supported on
NetWare 6.x.
Enables/disables Jumbo Frame support. When
enabled, jumbo packets of up to 9000 bytes
are supported. Not supported on NC1020
adapters.
Link=
Default=FORCE
Selections are: AUTO, FORCE
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.
