Parameters for Board Instances and Logical Boards

There must be a board instance defined for every active network board in the server machine. Every board instance is configured using a corresponding “Link Driver” section in NET.CFG. Therefore, there will be one “Link Driver” section for every active network board. The section header line always includes the name of the driver module, as in, “Link Driver NE2000”. A “Link Driver” section is also used to define logical boards associated with each board instance. Following is an example of a complete “Link Driver” section for an NE2000 Ethernet adapter:

Link Driver NE2000
Port 300
Int 3
Mem D4000
Frame Ethernet_802.3
Frame Ethernet_II

Note: If your adapter driver file was NE2000.COM, the driver name given on the Link Driver” section header would be “NE2000”, as shown above. Most ODI drivers follow this same naming convention.
