[. . . ] M-AUDIO may make improvements and/or changes in the product(s) and/or program(s) described in this publication at any time. It is possible that this publication may contain reference to, or information about, M-AUDIO products (machines and programs), programming, or services that are not announced in your country. Such references or information must not be construed to mean that M-AUDIO intends to announce such M-AUDIO products, programming, or services in your country. Requests for technical information about M-AUDIO products should be made to your M-AUDIO Authorized Dealer or your M-AUDIO Marketing Representative. [. . . ] It can also help track when mobile systems are installed. During the automated installation of an operating system on a new system or off-hours maintenance of an existing system, Alert on LAN can notify the remote administrator of hardware and software failures: ­ Power On Self Test (POST) has not been successful, indicating a failure to boot. ­ The system operating system is not responding. This feature is beneficial for unattended systems like servers, kiosks, or computers being remotely serviced during off-hours. ­ Alert on LAN also provides alerts for critical hardware failures such as voltage fluctuations and high temperature even when the operating system can not respond. B-2 M-AUDIO Token-Ring PCI Family Adapter Appendix C. NDIS 2 Device Driver Parameters Table C-1 (Page 1 of 4). DOS and OS/2 NDIS Device Driver Parameters in PROTOCOL. INI Parameter NetAddress Explanation Use this parameter to specify a locally administered address for the adapter. The address must be enclosed in double quotes (" ") and be unique among all the addresses on the network. The adapter can be known on the network by its universally administered address (the address encoded in the adapter's memory at the factory) or a locally administered address (a unique, user-assigned address). The universally administered address is the default value. That address appears on the adapter bracket. Protocol frame size should be adjusted if this parameter is changed. Note: Some Token-Ring switches support a maximum frame size of 4500. Valid values: 14 to 18 000 The default is 4500. MinRcvBuffs (OS/2 only) This parameter specifies the minimum number of receive buffers that are allocated. The Total Receive Buffer Area for the adapter is calculated using the following formula: Total Receive Buffer Area = MinRcvBuffs × RcvBuffSize Note: To receive the maximum length frame that is supported by the attached network, the Total Receive Buffer Area must be larger than the maximum frame size that is allowed for the network, which is 4500 bytes for 4-Mbps Token Rings and 18 000 bytes for 16-Mbps and 100-Mbps Token Rings). A smaller Total Receive Buffer Area will use less system memory but will correspondingly reduce the size of the largest frame that can be received by the NDIS device driver. The maximum frame size supported by the driver can be further limited by the MaxTxFrameSize parameter. Valid values: 1 to 512 The default is 20. RcvBuffSize (OS/2 only) This parameter specifies the size of each receive buffer. Valid values: 256 to 18 000 The default is 2252. FullDuplex This parameter permits the device driver to activate Token-Ring full-duplex operation if supported by the network. [. . . ] The access control field contains a bit that indicates to a receiving device that the token is ready to accept information. If a device has data to send along the network, it appends the data to the token. When data is appended, the token then becomes a frame. A network with a ring topology that passes tokens from one attaching device (node) to another. [. . . ]
