Parameter

Type

Value

interface

Text String

Name of the corresponding instance of the "packet_port" component

station_address

Text String

The "station_address" provides the ability to configure the adapter’s permanent address. By default the adapter’s permanent address is read from the host system’s NIC.Set the "station_address" when you need to configure a satellite (remotely booted) system that will run DECnet or when the migrated software uses the permanent address on the network adapter.

Format:

XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX

or

XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Example: 

set EWA station_address="AF:01:AC:78:1B:CC"

rx_fifo_size

Numeric

"rx_fifo_size" sets the receive FIFO size.

The value is specified in Kb and, by default, is pre-calculated from the connected port’s size of the receive queue.

Typically, you do not need to change the "rx_fifo_size" parameter. It is available for extended tuning and debugging purposes.
