6-5. Configurable IBMEINWC Client Driver Parameters
Parameter
Explanation
NODE
ADDRESS
To set a locally administered address for the adapter,
type in the local address you want to use. The local
address must contain 12 hexadecimal characters,
followed immediately by an L. Valid values are
x2xxxxxxxxxxL, x6xxxxxxxxxxL, xAxxxxxxxxxxL, or
xExxxxxxxxxxL. Example:
A6987654321ðL
This keyword is specified as NODE ADDRESS in
NET.CFG for DOS and OS/2 workstations. See the
sample NET.CFG file shown in step 5 on page 6-28.
Notes:
1. Do not assign the same local address to two or more
stations. Severe station communication or network
failures can occur when two or more stations are
assigned the same address.
2. If you do not assign a locally administered address,
the adapter uses the universally administered
address (the address encoded in the adapter
memory at the factory). The universally administered
address appears on a label on the EtherJet ISA
Adapter (see Figure 5-1 on page 5-2).
FRAME
This parameter indicates the Ethernet frame type to be
used by the LAN driver and network adapter.
Default value: Ethernet_802.2
Valid values: Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3,
Ethernet_II, Ethernet_SNAP
SERIAL
This parameter is the 8-digit, hexadecimal serial number
of the adapter
in double quotes. The SERIAL parameter
is required when multiple EtherJet adapters are used in
one computer. Serial parameter example:
SERIAL 89ABCDEF
The adapter serial number can be displayed by the
LANAID program. See “Finding the Adapter Serial
Number” on page 5-7.
