Sample PROTOCOL.INI Files and Parameters
----------------------------------------

[ETHPCI_NIF]

;  Default section of protocol.ini file for the Accton Adapter
    drivername = ETHPCI$
    ;SIA_MODE = AUTOSENSE [AUTOSENSE, TP, AUI, TP_FULL_DUPLEX]
; End of this sample file

There are several parameters included in the ETHPCI_NIF
section of the PROTOCOL.INI file. However, the only parameter
that you should specify is the "drivername."

If you change other parameter settings, such as the SIA_MODE
, make sure that it matches the hardware setting.
Otherwise, the adapter may fail.

If you don't specify these settings, Accton's NDIS driver
will automatically detect them.

SIA_MODE    Specifies the medium type used by the adapter.
            Acceptable values for this parameter are AUTOSENSE, TP, AUI
            and TP_FULL_DUPLEX. If you didn't specify this settings it
            would be AUTOSENSE. It means it can auto-detect what medium
            used.


List of Additional Parameters in the PROTOCOL.INI file
for the NDIS Driver Configuration
------------------------------------------------------
Note that values for the following parameters are seldom
changed by the user. Most of the time the default
values are used.

Keyword         Parameter

MAXTRANSMITS    1 .. 20  Default 4
                Maximum number of TransmitChain Buffers.
                This configures the number of the transmit buffers.

MAXRECEIVES     1 .. 20  Default 4
                Maximum number of ReceiveChain buffers.
                This configures the number of the Receive buffers.

MaxMultiCast    1 .. 1000  Default 10
                Maximum number of MultiCast Addresses.
                This configures the size of the MultiCast
                Address Table.

MaxRequests     6 .. 64  Default 8
                Maximum number of outstanding General Requests.
                This configures the size of the General Request
                Queue.



Troubleshooting and Error Messages
----------------------------------

To check for problems, please run the Test Adapter option
from ACCTEST.EXE in driver diskette DIAG subdirectory.

Error Message:

  Possible Causes:
        1. It is not PCI machine.
  Solution:
        Check is it PCI computer ?

Error Message:
        MAC0006E: Network Interface Hardware Not Responsing.
        MAC0007E: Unable to detect PCI ethernet card.
  Possible Causes:
        1. The adapter is not installed correctly in its slot.
        2. PCI adapter didn't setup correctly in BIOS setup.

Error Message:
        MAC0009E: Invalid Drivername specified in protocol.ini files.
  Possible Causes:
        1. wrong drivername in protocol.ini.
        2. Binding to wrong drivername.
  Solution:
        . Make sure that bindings to correct protocol.ini file and drivername.
        . And Make sure that the key word of DriverName is ETHPCI and it must
          be upper cast.
