see a message referring to this value with the "$." The user must remember to enter the "$"
character as part of the parameter's value.
SPEED
Syntax: SPEED=[Auto | 10 | 100]
o
Example: SPEED=10
o
Default: Auto-Speed-Detect as a function of PHY detection
o
Normal Behavior: If either 10 or 100 is specified, a message indicates that Auto-Speed-Detect
o
has been disabled and the driver sets the speed using the value specified. If the parameter is not
provided at all, or if Auto is provided, Auto-Speed-Sensing is enabled.
Possible Errors:
o
If the SPEED parameter is set to an invalid value, the parameter is ignored and the default value
is used, and a message indicates a "Parameter value out of range" error.
If the FORCEDUPLEX parameter is assigned a valid non-zero value, this parameter is required.
If the duplex is forced, Auto-Speed-Sensing is disabled and the speed and full-duplex modes are
set as specified by the user. An N-Way PHY will not be able to detect speed changes in this
configuration until the driver is reloaded.
FORCEDUPLEX
Syntax: FORCEDUPLEX=[Auto | 1 | 2]
o
Example: FORCEDUPLEX=1
o
Default: Duplex mode configuration detected during PHY initialization.
o
Normal Behavior: The parameter value of 1 will force the duplex mode to half-duplex. A
o
parameter value of 2 will force the duplex mode to full-duplex.
The SPEED parameter must be specified and must be valid if either half or full-duplex is forced.
Auto-detection by the PHY is disabled and the speed and full-duplex modes are set as specified.
The N-Way PHY will not be able to auto-detect the mode until the driver is reloaded.
Possible Errors:
o
If the FORCEDUPLEX parameter is set to an invalid value, the parameter is ignored and the
default value is used, and a message indicates a "Parameter value out of range" error.
If the FORCEDUPLEX mode does not match the actual mode of the port in use, the driver will
function for certain levels of traffic and then begin to lose frames.
If the port in use is FULL duplex but it is not capable of performing an N-way auto-negotiation,
the user MUST use FORCEDUPLEX set to FULL.
PHYADDRESS
Syntax: PHYADDRESS=[0..32]
o
Example: PHYADDRESS=1
o
Default: 1, implying logical PHY 1 at address 1.
o
An address of 0 implies logical PHY 0.
o
PHY 0 can only be at address 0.
PHY 1 can have addresses in the range 1 - 31.
PHY address 32 can be used to indicate the presence of an 82503 interface.
