F. Description of Parameters for FE32.LAN
The following parameters are used in FE32.LAN.
1. SLOT : specify which adapter is enabled when multiple 32-bit PCI
adapters are found in your computer. The SLOT keyword
is an index value corresponding to PCI BIOS.
The mapping from SLOT to physical PCI slot is different
from one machine to the other.
Ex: LOAD FE32 SLOT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
LOAD FE32 SLOT=4 FRAME=ETHERNET_II
2. FRAME : specify which frame type is used by the driver. Accepted
values are Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_II and
Ethernet_SNAP. Multiple frame types can be enabled by the
driver by loading the same driver with different FRAME types.
Ex: LOAD FE32 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
LOAD FE32 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
LOAD FE32 FRAME=ETHERNET_II
LOAD FE32 FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP
3. NODE : Use a different address to replace the node address burned
into EEPROM.
Ex: LOAD FE32 NODE=0000E8001122
4. Medium : Specifies which medium type is used by the driver.
Accepted vaules are AUTO,100FULL,100HALF,10FULL and
