KwikNet System Configuration
SLIP Network Definition (continued)
Tag
Each network must have a unique network tag. The tag is a string of 1 to 7 characters.
This parameter defines that tag. Although KwikNet does not restrict the content of the tag
in a network description, the Configuration Manager only supports 1 to 7 ASCII
characters as a tag.
Edit: Network
You must select the Edit: Network radio button to define the network parameters.
Network Driver
You must select
SLIP from the pull down list to attach the KwikNet SLIP Network Driver
to your SLIP network.
Startup Hook
This parameter provides the name of an application function which will be called when
the network driver is being initialized. This function can modify the network's
configuration parameters and IP address information before the network interface has
been fully initialized. If your application does not require a startup hook for this network,
leave this field empty. The SLIP network driver startup hook is described in Appendix
A.1 of the
KwikNet Device Driver Technical Reference Manual.
Auto Start
If this box is checked, the network interface will be automatically opened and made
available for use as soon as KwikNet has started and prebuilt the network interface. If you
leave this box unchecked, the network interface will be prebuilt by
KwikNet but will be
left closed until opened by your application with a call to KwikNet procedure
kn_ifopen().
Modem Connection
The SLIP network driver supports remote connections using the KwikNet Modem Driver.
Check this box to attach the modem driver to this network. Otherwise, leave this box
unchecked. The
KwikNet Modem Driver is described in Chapter 1.7 of the KwikNet Device
Driver Technical Reference Manual.
Note that the network still requires a device driver even if the modem driver is used.
Modem Options
If you have attached the modem driver to this network, then click the Modem Options...
button to open the Modem Options Dialog. Within this dialog you can configure the
modem to meet your requirements (see Chapter 2.7).
