Appendix G. Novell NetWare DOS ODI Driver Parameters
The following parameters can be configured in the NET.CFG file.
Table G-1 (Page 1 of 2). DOS and OS/2 Configurable Driver Parameters in the NET.CFG file.
Parameter Explanation
FRAME This keyword defines the frame type used with the adapter.
Valid values:
¹
TOKEN-RING MSB
¹
TOKEN-RING LSB
¹
TOKEN-RING_SNAP MSB
¹
TOKEN-RING_SNAP LSB
The default value is Token-Ring MSB.
NODE
ADDRESS To set a locally administered address for the adapter, type the local address you want to use. The
local address must contain 12 hexadecimal characters and can be specified in either
most-significant bit (MSB), which is the default, or least-significant bit (LSB) format. To specify an
MSB node address, the letter “M” immediately follows the last digit of the node address. To
specify an LSB node address, the letter “L” immediately follows the last digit of the node address.
If a node address is specified in MSB format, the characters must be within the range
X
'
400000000000
'
–X
'
7FFFFFFFFFFF
'
. To specify a node address in MSB format, append an
“M” to the end of the address (for example, 400000000001M). This address specified in LSB
format would be X
'
020000000080L
'
.
Notes:
1. Do not assign the same local address to two or more stations. Severe station communication
or network failures may 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 adapter. See Figure 4-1 on
page 4-4 for an illustration.
SLOT This keyword defines the slot number of the corresponding adapter in the computer. Slots must
be assigned sequentially. This assignment is used to avoid conflict with other adapters.
Valid values: 10001 or 10002
The default value is 10001.
DATARATE This keyword defines the data-rate setting for the adapter. It is recommended that clients be set
to AUTO.
This keyword is ignored for 100-Mbps network operation.
Valid values:
AUTO AutoSense – automatic ring-speed detection.
Note: The adapter will not function with AutoSense if the adapter is the first one on the
ring. AutoSense is not designed for changing ring speed while the adapter is operational.
It is usually necessary to reload the driver.
M16 16-Mbps ring-speed operation.
M4 4-Mbps ring-speed operation.
The default value is AUTO.
