SK-NET Ethernet EISA Adapter Card Setup

Use this dialog box to configure an SK-NET Ethernet adapter in an EISA machine.

-	Slot Number

Choose the appropriate slot where you configured your adapter card with the EISA setup program.

-	Transceiver

On an SK-NET G32+ adapter you may choose the appropriate transceiver to use if you wish to override the one configured with the EISA setup program.

SK-NET Ethernet ISA Adapter Card Setup

Use this dialog box to configure an SK-NET Ethernet adapter in an ISA machine.

-	I/O Port Address

Choose the I/O Port you configured on your adapter card.

-	IRQ Level

Choose a free IRQ value.  Remember that a G8 does not support interrupt 11, nor does a G16 in an 8 bit slot.  A G16 does not support interrupt 4.

-	Memory Address

Choose a free memory start address.  The adapter uses 16 KB shared memory.

To use a network address other than the one burned into the adapter card, enter the network address in hexadecimal form, in the following format:

XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX (for instance, 00-00-5A-12-34-56).

Remember that the second digit in the first byte must be even!  Else it would be a multicast address.)

If you leave the network address blank (or specify another number of digits), the network address burned into the adapter card is used.  If you do not know the network address, ask your network administrator.

If you want to operate in an environment that is not able to handle the maximum FDDI packet size of 4491 bytes (e.g. over an FDDI-to-ethernet-bridge), you may reduce the packet size to e.g. 1514 (ethernet packet size).  For maximum performance, you should run with packet size 4491.  Components that are not able to handle this packet size should be updated as soon as possible.

If no value is specified, the default value for TVX (2700 us) will be used.


SKFPNT Help
SK-NET FDDI PCI Adapter Card Setup

Use this dialog box to configure an SK-NET FDDI PCI adapter.

-	Bus / Slot

Choose the appropriate bus/slot combination where your adapter card resides.

-	Configure SMT

A new dialog will be presented where you can configure SMT parameters.

-	Configure Sync

A new dialog will be presented where you can configure the Synchronous Bandwidth Allocator (SBA) and the End Station Support (ESS).

-	Network Address

To use a network address other than the one burned into the adapter card, enter the network address in hexadecimal form, in the following format:

XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX (for instance, 00-00-5A-12-34-56).

Remember that the second digit in the first byte must be even!  Else it would be a multicast address.)

If you leave the network address blank (or specify another number of digits), the network address burned into the adapter card is used.  If you do not know the network address, ask your network administrator.

-	Packet Size

If you want to operate in an environment that is not able to handle the maximum FDDI packet size of 4491 bytes (e.g. over an FDDI-to-ethernet-bridge), you may reduce the packet size to e.g. 1514 (ethernet packet size).  For maximum performance, you should run with packet size 4491.  Components that are not able to handle this packet size should be updated as soon as possible.

-	PCI Fix Value

To work around problems with PCI machines or BIOSes, it may be necessary to activate a workaround.  Currently, there are no workarounds defined (the value should remain 0x0).

Select the I/O Port Address that matches your adapter settings. If more than one SK-NET TR4/16+ adapter is located in your computer, be sure to select a different I/O Port Address for each adapter.

-	IRQ Level

The SK-NET TR4/16+ Token-Ring Network adapter can operate at seven different interrupt levels: 9, 3, 5, 10, 11, 12 or 15. NOTE that adapter interrupts are edge-triggered and can not be shared with any other device.

-	DMA Channel

The SK-NET TR4/16+ Token-Ring Network adpter can operate with or without busmaster mode. When operating as a busmaster, three DMA Channels can be used: 5, 6 or 7. Otherwise Programmed I/O (PIO) operation mode is used.

-	PseudoDma

SK-NET Token-Ring adapters are busmaster DMA adapters.  If you have trouble with DMA in your machine, or if you run out of DMA channels, use the PseudoDMA option to specify the adapter for using programmed I/O instead of DMA, at the cost of a somewhat decreased data throughput.

-	BIOSFix

Some of the first available PCI BIOS versions (e.g. from COMPAQ) cause problems under some circumstances.  In such a case, the adapter will not be able to perform busmaster DMA, or the adapter hardware will even be disabled by the PCI BIOS.  If you set the BIOSFIX switch to ON and the problems no longer persists, contact your PC manufacturer for a newer BIOS version, or contact your network dealer or the SysKonnect support for more information.  (Check the SUPPORT.INF file on Installation Diskette 1 for how to contact SysKonnect support.)

SYNC Help
Synchronous Parameter Setup

Use this dialog box to configure Synchronous Bandwidth Allocator (SBA) and End Station Support (ESS) Parameters on FDDI adapters.

SBA Parameters

-	SbaCommand

This keyword is an SBA local action to start or stop the SBA application.  The default value is 'STOP'.  Note: There should be only one active SBA application in the same ring.

-	SbaAvailable

This keyword defines the maximum synchronous bandwidth in percent available for the primary path.  The valid range reaches from 0 - 100 percent.  The default value is 50 percent (6.25 MBytes/s).  If a value is specified which lies outside the limits, the upper/lower limit will be taken.  This value remains zero until the SBA application is enabled and active.

ESS Parameters

-	SbaPayLoad

This keyword defines the requested synchronous bandwidth for manual static allocations.  The valid range reaches from 0 - 1562 bytes per 125 microseconds.  For example, if the required bandwidth is 1 MBit/s (125,000 Bytes/s) the value of the payload is 125,000 * 125E-6 = 15.625 round up to 16.  If a value is specified which lies outside the limits, the upper/lower limit will be taken.  The default value is zero - no synchronous bandwidth is used.  The user is required to define the amount of bandwidth to be able to send synchronous frames.  If the keyword SbaPayLoad is not specified, the keywords SbaOverHead, MaxTNeg, MinSegmentSize and SbaCategory have no effect.

-	SbaOverHead

This keyword defines the requested overhead for static allocations.  The valid range reaches from 50 to 5000 bytes.  If a value is specified which lies outside the limits, the upper/lower limit will be taken.  The default value is 50 bytes.  This keyword has only an effect, if the keyword SbaPayLoad is specified.

-	MaxTNeg

This keyword defines the maximum token rotation delay acceptable to the application(s) using synchronous bandwidth.  The valid range reaches from 5 ms to 165 ms.  If a value is specified which lies outside the limits, the upper/lower limit will be taken.  The default value is 25 ms.  This keyword has only an effect, if the keyword SbaPayLoad is specified.

-	MinSegmentSize

This keyword defines the minimum synchronous segmentation size.  This value corresponds to the amount of bytes to be transmitted on a per token opportunity.  The valid range reaches from 1 to 4478 bytes.  If a value is specified which lies outside the limits, the upper/lower limit will be taken.  This keyword has only an effect, if the keyword SbaPayLoad is specified.

-	SbaCategory

This keyword defines the session ID of the SBA_Category for the static allocation.  The valid ranges reaches from 0 to 65535.  If a value is specified which lies outside the limits, the upper/lower limit will be taken.  This parameter has only an effect, if the keyword SbaPayLoad is specified.

-	SynchTxMode

This keyword defines the synchronous transmission mode.  The default value is 'SPLIT', where only packets identified as synchronous packets shall be transmitted by the synchronous queue.  The other value is 'ALL', where all LLC packets received from upper layers are transmitted via the synchronous queue.  This keyword has only an effect, if the end station support was able to get the required synchronous bandwidth from the SBA.
