Installing PeerMaster LAN Software
TXCOUNT values for MXPCI4BT.LAN
Minimum value of nnn = 2
Maximum value of nnn = 8
Default value of nnn = 1
TXCOUNT values for VNET.LAN
Minimum value of nnn = 1
Maximum value of nnn = 5
Default value of nnn = 2
The maximum TXCOUNT value of 80 is recommended. The actual
maximum can vary as a function of the configured size of the
PeerMaster adapter memory window and the amount of available
memory on that PeerMaster adapter. If the requested number is
greater than the device driver can provide, the default value will be
used. Do not set TXCOUNT below the default value of 10.
The RXCOUNT keyword allows you to customize the number of
receive control blocks and host buffers used to receive packets from
the PeerMaster adapter, as follows:
:LOAD C:\PATH\MXPCI4BT.LAN SLOT=11 RXCOUNT=nn
:LOAD C:\PATH\MXPCI4BT.LAN SLOT=12
:LOAD C:\PATH\MXPCI4BT.LAN SLOT=13
:LOAD C:\PATH\MXPCI4BT.LAN SLOT=14
(where C: is the primary drive and PATH is the directory)
The parameter nn is a 2-digit decimal number that specifies the
number of control blocks and buffers. The keyword must be
specified on the load command line for MXPCI4BT.LAN. The first
port loaded on a PeerMaster adapter sets the RXCOUNT of
resources for that adapter. The RXCOUNT keyword for subsequent
loads of the same PeerMaster adapter is ignored by the device
driver.
Minimum value of nn = 2
Maximum value of nn = 8
Default value of nn = 1
The maximum value of 80 is recommended. The actual maximum
might vary as a function of the configured size of the PeerMaster
