Parameter Description for SMC1255.LAN The following parameters are used in SCM1255.LAN. 1. SLOT : specifies which adapter is enabled when multiple SMC1255TX adapters are found in your computer. The SLOT keyword is an index value corresponding to PCI BIOS. The mapping from SLOT to the physical PCI slot is different from one machine to another. Ex: LOAD SMC1255 SLOT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 LOAD SMC1255 SLOT=4 FRAME=ETHERNET_II 2. FRAME : specifies 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 loading the same driver with different FRAME types. Ex: LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_II LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP 3. NODE : Uses a different address to replace the node address burned in EEPROM. Ex: LOAD SMC1255 NODE=0000E8001122 4. Media_Type : Specifies which medium type is used by the driver. Accepted vaules are AUTO,10-HD,10-FD,100-HD, 100-FD. Ex: LOAD SMC1255 SLOT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 Medium=100-FD --- All trademarks and brand names mentioned belong to their respective owners. -- End of File --Download Driver Pack
