Ethdrv - Intermec 6400 User Manual

SECTION 2

Ethdrv

ethdrv [-B] [-b broadcast_addr] [-i interrupt] [m]
[-p lg_pkt_count] [-s sm_pkt_count]
[-t max_tcp_conn] [-u max_udp_conn]
The ethdrv command loads the TSR kernel into memory.
Use inet unload to unload the kernel from memory.
The kernel is the central part of the network software.
Loading the TSR kernel lets you use TCP/IP applications.
The ethdrv TSR kernel supports DIX Ethernet.
The TSR kernel supports upper memory (UMB) and
expanded memory loading options that you can specify on
the command line or in the [pctcp kernel] section of
PCTCP.INI. (The kernel loads its code and data segments
into upper memory by default.)
The size of the kernel varies, depending on the driver, the
command line, and configuration options you select. When
you load the kernel, it displays a report of its memory
usage. Using ethdrv without arguments results in a
configuration that uses a moderate amount of memory, and
is adequate for most users.
Kernel command line options override configuration
parameter settings in the [pctcp kernel] section of
PCTCP.INI.
-B Specifies that Berkeley UNIX type urgent
pointers are used. Use this type of
out of band urgent pointer when
communicating with Berkeley UNIX hosts.
Without this option selected, RFC 1122
urgent pointers are used; this is the
default. RFC 1122 is Requirements for
Internet Hosts Communication Layers.
