Hints and Tips

NET.CFG options:

    MAX FRAME SIZE
    The maximum frame size for the adapter. Default is 4216, maximum is 17960, minimum is 632. This parameter affects the resident driver size. Values smaller than default may affect performance.

    PORT
    This parameter is only required if more than one adapter is installed in the system. If no PORT parameter is entered, the driver will use the first TokenExpress 16 adapter it finds.

    NODE ADDRESS
    Enter this parameter only if you wish to manually administer node addresses in your installation. If not entered, the Burned In Address will be used.

    If an address is entered, it must consist of 12 hexadecimal digits, the first being 4, 5, 6 or 7.

    FRAME
    The link level frame type. Supported values are TOKEN-RING (default) and TOKEN-RING_SNAP.
