Table 5. ODI 16–bit Client Parameters (continued)
Parameter Explanation
NIC UAA This parameter can be used to specify which physical network
adapter is to be associated with this load of the LAN driver. The
parameter value can be a 1–digit ordinal value or a 12–digit,
hexadecimal, universally administered address (MAC address).
With ordinal type parameter usage, an ordinal value of 1 indicates
the adapter with the
lowest universally administered address value.
An ordinal value of 2 indicates the adapter with the next lowest
universally administered address, and so on. If there are two
adapters, the one with the higher MAC address has an ordinal
value of 2.
This parameter is not required for a single network adapter;
however, this parameter is necessary if the system contains more
than one network adapter and at least one of them is a Turbo 16/4
Token-Ring PC Card 2. Otherwise, system or network errors are
likely to result.
NOFULLDUPLEX This parameter disables full-duplex ring insertion.
MAX FRAME SIZE This option sets the maximum number of bytes that can be put on
the wire by the Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring PC Card 2. The number
must be a multiple of 8 and include the number of bytes for the
data packet for adapter overhead (6 bytes) and for the maximum
header (35 bytes LAN 5 bytes SNAP 74 bytes
protocol header). The total number of bytes is 114.
If the LAN speed is 16 Mbps, the number must be between 632
and 17 960. If the LAN speed is 4 Mbps, the number must be
between 632 and 4 464. If 2 KB packets are desired, calculate the
maximum frame size as:
2048 + 6 + 35 + 5 + 74 = 2168 (rounding up to next multiple of 8
gives 2168)
An example NET.CFG entry for using 2–KB packets would appear
as:
LINK DRIVER TOKEN
MAX FRAME SIZE 2168
In an OS/2 environment, to set frame sizes greater than 1540
bytes, you must configure LSL buffers equal to or greater than the
frame size you desire. To configure the adapter to handle
4210–byte frames, use this statement in your NET.CFG file:
LINK SUPPORT
BUFFERS 14 4210
Refer to the section that discusses NET.CFG options in
Novell
NetWare Workstation 4.0 for OS/2 for information about configuring
link suport layer buffers.
FRAME This parameter indicates the token-ring frame type to be used by
the LAN driver and network adapter.
Default value:
Token ring
Valid values:
Token ring, token-ring_SNAP
NOSHALLOWMODE This parameter disables adapter shallow mode operation.
