Physical Path. The Physical Path field displays the current physical
path for the LAN card as specified in the NMMGR configuration file.
Inbound Buffer Size. The Inbound Buffer Size field displays the
current size of the receive buffer that are configured for this system
through NMMGR. This field will not print for NIO cards, since there
may be multiple inbound buffer sizes.
Inbound Number of Buffers. The Inbound Number of Buffers field
displays the number of receive buffers that are configured for this
system through NMMGR. This field will not print for NIO cards.
Inbound Buffers Available. The Inbound Buffers Available field
displays the number of unused or unassigned Inbound Buffers that are
available to this system. This field will not print for NIO cards.
Current Station Address. The Current Station Address field is a
display of the six (6) byte address to which the node is configured to
respond. This address is used whenever frames are sent to the network
media. The default station address is used unless it is overridden in the
NMMGR link configuration screen. If this field is changed, then the
station address of this node is changed. Make sure that you note this
new address in the system manager log.
Default Station Address. The Default Station Address field is the
default value for the Current Station Address described above. The
default station address is determined by the specific LAN card. It is
also printed on the LAN card. If the card is changed for any reason, the
Default Station Address of this node will change.
Current Receive Filter. The Current Receive Filter field has a
current value. The current value is currently used by the LAN card.
Receive Filter bad ( ). The Receive Filter bad ( ) field is either
enabled (1) or disabled (0). When enabled, any bad frames that are
received by the LAN are passed to the driver. When disabled, bad
frames are discarded. Any bad frames are counted in the statistics.
Receive Filter multi ( ). The Receive Filter multi ( ) field is either
enabled (1) or disabled (0). When enabled, you can specify a list of
specified multicast frames to be received by the LAN hardware card.
The list can contain up to 64 multicast addresses to be downloaded to
the LAN and is displayed when this field is entered.
Receive Filter broad ( ). The Receive Filter broad ( ) field is either
enabled (1) or disabled (0). When enabled, the LAN card receives
frames sent to the broadcast address.
Receive Filter any ( ). The Receive Filter any ( ) field is either
enabled (1) or disabled (0). When enabled, the LAN card attempts to
receive all frames from the network media. When disabled, only those
frames sent to the LAN card are received.
