                PROTOCOL.INI for the Proteon ProNET-4/16 p1392


The p1392 is a Token Ring ISA 16-bit Bus Master adapter.  The low-level MAC
code for the p1392 is contained in the PRORAPM.DWN file, which must be
downloaded into RAM on the card.

This readme explains the valid settings for parameters in the PROTOCOL.INI
file for the p1392 NDIS drivers.

PROTOCOL.INI PARAMETERS
-----------------------

drivername
	units:[n/a]
	range:[NDIS39XR] (for DOS), [NDI39XR$, NDI39XR2$, ...] (for OS/2)
        default:[NDIS39XR] (for DOS), [NDI39XR$] (for OS/2)
	requirement: a must

DRIVERNAME     Identifies the network device driver. In multiple instances
               case, DRIVERNAME is NDI39XR$ for the first token-ring driver,
               NDI39XR2$ for the second, and so on.

 
netaddress
	units:[hex]
	range:[12 hex digits]
	default:[n/a]
	requirement: optional

NETADDRESS     Overrides the network burned-in-address of the adapter.  This
               entry should only be used if there are duplicate addresses on
               the network. The network address value is a hexadecimal string
               of 12 digits enclosed in double  quotes. An example of a
               network address is:

                NETADDRESS="400001261835"


maxtransmits
        units:[integer]
	range:[3-50]
	default:[40]
	requirement: optional

MAXTRANSMITS   Specifies the maximum number of buffers that can be queued for
               transmission at one time. Used to fine tune driver performance
               or compatibility.


intlevel 
        units:[integer]
	range:[3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12]
	default:[5]
	requirement: a must

INTLEVEL       Specifies the hardware interrupt level on the p1392.
	       	

iobase
        units:[hex integer]
	range:[0xA20 - 0xFE20]
	default:[0xA20]
	requirement: a must

IOBASE         Specifies the p1392 adapter I/O base address.  Examples of
               valid I/O base address: 0xA20, 0x1A20,0x2A20,0x3A20.


dmachannel
        units:[integer]
	range:[5,6,7,0]
	default:[5]
	requirement: a must

DMACHANNEL     Configures hardware DMA channel on the p1392.  Valid inputs
               are: 5,6,7,and 0. 0 = pseudo-DMA mode.


linkspeed
        units:[integer]
	range:[4,16]
	default:[16]
	requirement: a must

LINKSPEED      Configures the hardware for either 4 or 16 Mbps data transfer
               rate.


media
        units:[n/a]
	range:[STP, UTP]
	default:[STP]
	requirement: a must

MEDIA          Configures the hardware for either STP or UTP cable type.


dmaclock
        units:[interger | string]
	range:[4,8,BUS]
	default:[8]
	requirement: optional

DMACLOCK       Configures the hardware DMA clock speed on the p1392.  Valid
               inputs: 4, 8, or BUS (for system clock).


saen
        units:[n/a]
	range:[ON,OFF]
	default:[ON]
	requirement: optional

SAEN           Configures the hardware SAEN function on the p1392.  Valid
               inputs: ON(enabled) and OFF(disabled). In most cases, the SAEN
               should be enabled. However, if your system is not completely
               ISA-compatible, you may need to disable the SAEN.
