Using Keywords for the Drivers 
The Protocol.ini file contains certain keywords that are used by the 
BXND20X.dos driver. These keywords are listed below: 
BusNum. Specifies the number of the PCI bus on which the network 
adapter is located. This keyword requires a value ranging from 0 to 
255. 
DevNum. Specifies the device number assigned to the network 
adapter when it is configured by the PCI BIOS. This keyword requires 
a value ranging from 0 to 255. 
FuncNum or PortNum. Specifies the PCI function or port number 
assigned to the network controller. This keyword requires a value 
ranging from 0 to 7. 
Note
The BusNum, DevNum, and FuncNum (or PortNum) keywords are 
needed when multiple adapters are installed in the server and when 
a specific controller must be loaded in a certain order. These 
keywords are used concurrently and are included for manufacturing 
purposes. Do not use them unless you are familiar with how to 
configure PCI devices. A PCI device scan utility is needed to find this 
information. 
LineSpeed. Specifies the speed of the network connection in Mbit/s. 
The values are 10, 100, or 1000 Mbit/s. Technically, a line speed of 
1000 Mbit/s cannot be forced and is achievable only through 
auto-negotiation. For the sake of simplicity, the driver performs auto-
negotiation when the line speed is set to a value of 1000. 
Duplex. Specifies the duplex mode of the network adapter. Requires a 
setting of either Half or Full. When this keyword is used, the 
LineSpeed keyword must also be used. If neither keyword is used, the 
network adapter defaults to auto-negotiation mode. 
NodeAddress. Specifies the network address used by the network 
adapter. If a multicast address or a broadcast address is specified, the 
adapter uses the default MAC address. 
FixCheckSumOff. Turns off the driver's workaround for the TCP/IP 
stack to recognize the 1s complemented version of the checksum. 
AcceptAllMC. Informs the driver to deliver all multicast packets to the 
upper protocol.
