Ethernet Parameters (continued)

Ethernet-II Framing

Check this box if you have one or more network interfaces that only support Ethernet-II

(DIX) framing. If none of your network interfaces use Ethernet-II (DIX) framing

exclusively, leave this box unchecked.

This option must be enabled if you plan to create an Ethernet-II network, either

dynamically at runtime or by predefining it on the Networks property page. If you create

an Ethernet-II network and this option is not enabled, your application's link will fail

because function kn_etnet_prep() is not defined.

802.3 Framing

Check this box if you have one or more network interfaces that must support Ethernet

802.3 framing. If none of your network interfaces use 802.3 framing, leave this box

unchecked.

Note: Support for Ethernet 802.3 framing will not be present (even if you check this

box) unless your Treck installation includes the optional Ethernet 802.3

component.

This option must be enabled if you plan to create an Ethernet 802.3 network, either

dynamically at runtime or by predefining it on the Networks property page. If you create

an Ethernet 802.3 network and this option is not enabled, your application's link will fail

because function kn_et8023_prep() is not defined.

802.3 Operating Mode

If any Ethernet network interface requires 802.3 framing, you must select the mode of

operation from the pull down list. All network interfaces that use 802.3 framing will

operate according to the mode that you select.

Select 802.3 only if these interfaces use 802.3 framing exclusively.

Select

802.3 (some DIX) if these interfaces mainly use 802.3 framing but must

occasionally use Ethernet-II (DIX) framing.

Select DIX (some 802.3) if these interfaces mainly use Ethernet-II (DIX) framing but must

occasionally use 802.3 framing.
