D. Parameter Description for USR7900.LAN
----------------------------------------
The following parameters are used in USR7900.LAN.
1. SLOT: specifies which adapter is enabled when multiple USR7900
based adapters are found in your computer.
Ex: LOAD USR7900 SLOT=1 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
LOAD USR7900 SLOT=1 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 the
driver by loading the same driver with different FRAME types.
Ex: LOAD USR7900 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
LOAD USR7900 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
LOAD USR7900 FRAME=ETHERNET_II
LOAD USR7900 FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP
3. NODE: Use a different address to replace the node address burned
in EEPROM.
Ex: LOAD USR7900 NODE=0200E8001122
4. There are five parameters provided for specifying adapter's speed and
duplex mode : AUTO, 10-HD, 10-FD, 100-HD, 100-FD.
