Use the down arrow key to move the cursor to the parameter window;
enter parameter values as needed.
Press <F1> for help if necessary.
In some cases, the system displays a pop-up list of values for the field
from which you select the desired value. In other cases, you must type in
a value and press <Enter> to move to the next field.
You can also specify a specific frame type if desired. If you do not specify
a particular frame type, all frame types are loaded automatically, but only
those found on the network are actually bound to the driver.
11 (Optional) To specify a particular frame type for an Ethernet driver, press
<F3> to display a list of frame types. Use the arrow keys to move up and
down the list. Press <Enter> to select a frame type. When finished, press
<Esc>.
12 When finished, press <F10> to save the values and exit the window.
The system loads the LAN driver and then displays a confirmation
window containing the command line to bind the protocol with the
specified frame type.
At this point, you can either confirm binding of the protocol with the
specified frame type or change the frame type.
13 To bind the protocol, press <Enter>. To display the command line with a
different frame type, press <F3>, then press <Enter> when the desired
frame type is displayed.
NWCONFIG automatically places the LOAD and BIND commands in the
autoexec.ncf file.
Unbinding and Unloading LAN Drivers
To remove a communication protocol from a board and driver, you can use the
UNBIND console command. If you have loaded the driver more than once,
specify the board you want to unbind. See UNBIND in Utilities Reference.
When the protocol is unbound, users attached to the cabling scheme of the
board can't log in. If users are already logged in, they receive a message when
they attempt to access the server.
To unload a LAN driver, use the UNLOAD command or NWCONFIG. See
NWCONFIGUNLOAD in Utilities Reference.
