Keywords for the B570X 32-BIT Netware Server ODI driver v2.16 and above.

TxDescriptors=
This is to initialize Descriptor resources on the adapter for transmits.
Min = 100
Max = 512
Default = 300

RxBuffers=
This is to pre-allocate receive ECBs & Receive adapter resources. This setting
may be affected by the Netware server maximum/minimum packet receive buffer settings.
Min = 32
Max = 512
Default = 200

Speed=
This keyword is to force the line speed of the adapter.
When this keyword is used, the switch to which the adapter cable is connected 
must also be forced to the same speed. If not, the adapter and switch may run at
different duplex modes. It is important to have the switch and adapter set properly. 
The best way to ensure good connectivity is to not set the speed keyword and
allow for automatic link setup (auto-negotiation).
Choices are :
AUTO, 10FD,10HD, 100FD, 100HD, 
Default is Auto. Please note that 1000 Mbs Speed is auto-detected at this time, and
cannot be forced.

Link=
This keyword is set to "AUTO" to allow the adapter to auto-negotiate with a switch
using the Speed keyword as an advertised speed upper limit. 
It is best to allow for auto-negotiation of the card and switch by not setting 
this keyword or the Speed keyword. 
Choices are: 
AUTO, FORCE
Default is FORCE.  

RxTicks=
This is to enable the use of a receive "tick" interrupt within a 
specific time period.
Min = 0, disabled
Max = 5000000, 5 seconds
Units are in micro seconds
Default is 300

TxTicks=
This is to enable the use of a transmit "tick" threshold interupt within a 
specific time period.
Min = 0, disabled
Max = 5000000, 5 seconds
Units are in micro seconds
Default is 200


TxPacketsPer=
This is to enable the use of allowing an interrupt to occur after a specific 
amount of packets are transmitted.
Min = 0, disabled
Max = 100
Default is 20

RxPacketsPer=
This is to enable the use of allowing an interrupt to occur after a specific 
amount of packets are received.
Min = 0, disabled
Max = 100
Default is 75


CheckSum=
This is to enable or disable the transmit & receive checksum off loading feature.
The checksum off loading support is only for TCP/IP packets, for that reason it is 
defaulted to OFF.
Choices are:
OFF, ON, TX, RX
Default is ON

TxFlow=
This keyword allows enabling/disabling of TxFlow control.
Choices are:
ON, OFF
Default is ON.

RxFlow=
This keyword allows enabling/disabling of RxFlow control.
Choices are:
ON, OFF
Default value is OFF.

PDriver=
Allows for the driver to operate in persistent driver mode.
Only use if adapter is placed in a Hot Plug PCI slot and only if
required to swap with an exact same board.
Choices are:
OFF, ON
Default value is OFF.

NODE=
This is a Novell Netware keyword.
This keyword will allow an input ethernet node address to replace the adapter 
factory programmed ethernet node address until a subsequent reboot.
Choices are:
NODE=nnnnnnnnnnnn

FRAME=
This is a Novell Netware keyword.
String specifying the frame type.
Choices are:
ETHERNET_II
ETHERNET_802.3
ETHERNET_802.2
ETHERNET_SNAP
Default is usally ETHERNET_802.2

SLOT=
This is a Novell Netware keyword.
Sysstem-wide unique Hardware Instance Number (HIN) that may be the physical
slot number on a slot based bus such as PCI.
SLOT=n

Jumbo=
Keyword to enable Jumbo frame support. When enabled, jumbo packets of up to 
9200 bytes are supported.
Choices are:
Jumbo=ON
Default is Jumbo=OFF.

P3=
This keyword is used when running perform3.exe tests. 
Set P3=1 When running the test back to back. Set P3=2 when running with many clients.
Default: P3=0.
