The following table summarizes the possible entries and values in the
[tlnk] section of the LAN Manager PROTOCOL.INI file:
Entry Units Range Default
dmachannel
(80286 and 80386
computers only)
integer 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, or 7 1
drivername — — tlnk$ or tlnkn$
interrupt integer 2–15 3
ioaddress hex. 300–350 300
maxtransmits integer 8–40 8
netaddress hex. 12 hex. digits —
product_id hex. 36 hex. digits See explanation
speed — 6–10 6
Entries in the [tlnk] section of the LAN Manager PROTOCOL.INI file
have the following meanings:
dmachannel (80286 and 80386 computers only)
Sets the DMA channel on the network adapter. This entry is ignored
when the adapter is in an 8086 or 8088 computer, or when it is in an
8-bit slot of an 80286 or 80386 computer. Installing the adapter in a
16-bit slot improves performance.
The value of this entry can be 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, or 7. When the value is 0,
the driver uses string I/O instead of DMA for data transfers. Channels
5, 6, and 7 are available only if the adapter is ASSY 3410-03 revision
A or later.
drivername
Identifies the driver name of the network device driver. The base
portion of the filename, plus a digit when more than one TokenLink
adapter is installed, is the drivername. The drivername is tlnk$ for
the first TokenLink adapter, tlnk2$ for the second, and so on.
interrupt
Indicates the interrupt level of the network adapter.
Note
For an 80286 or 80386 computer, specifying interrupt level 2
redirects to interrupt level 9 because the cascaded PIC is already
using interrupt level 2.
