F. 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,
