/X
Disables the buffer request protocol. When this option is enabled, the
driver requests the buffer count from the SLTA-10 Adapter using the
~~SBUFC ( OxE7 ) command whenever the interface is opened, or
when the interface is reset, and reports an niRESET to the host. The
driver keeps track of the number of available output buffers in the
SLTA-10 Adapter by examining both uplink and downlink messages.
This option prevents the use of one message type: A local network
management command not using a request/response service.
Normally this type of message is not used.
One exception could be
the Set Node Mode: Reset command, which would result in the
node resetting and the buffer management recovering on its own
anyway. Otherwise, if this type of message is used, no uplink
response would occur and the driver could not track the fact that a
new output buffer has been made available.
