NET.CFG Options Reference
Link Driver Option
FRAME frame_type_name [addressing_mode]
Enables the frame types used by the LAN driver.
When the LAN driver initializes the network board, it creates a logical board
for the frame type name that is specified. You can create multiple frame
types concurrently on each client workstation.
This parameter also allows for configuration of the addressing mode for
some LAN drivers on the basis of frame types. The following keywords
determine the address mode:
• LSB canonical addressing mode
• MSB non-canonical addressing mode
For example, the frame type Token-Ring can be used in LSB.
Syntax
dma [#1 | #2] channel_number
Enter the channel number to be used. You can specify
two DMA values.
Default #1
Example
If the first configurable DMA channel on your NE2100
TM
network board uses DMA channel 3 and the second
configurable channel uses channel 4, you would place the
following lines in your NET.CFG file:
link driver ne2100
dma #1 3
dma #2 4
Syntax
frame frame_type_name [ addressing_mod]
Replace frame_type_name with the supported frame type of
the network you are connecting to.
Replace addressing_mode with the address mode for your
frame type.
