If you have a Token-Ring version of the MonarchNet, this option is listed as
Option 3 in the MonarchNet Configuration utility main menu.
Priority When a data packet is placed on the Token-Ring network, it
can be assigned a priority. The priority level may range from
a low of 0 to a high of 6. The priority of the packets sent by
the MonarchNet can be increased to improve performance.
However, the performance of file servers and crucial
stations could be affected.
Maximum
Packet
Size The MonarchNet can be configured to use maximum packet
sites of 1K, 2K, or 4K. The packet size should only be
changed if you are using a driver for your Token-Ring
adapter which allows packet sizes greater than 1K.
Early
Token
Release This option allows the MonarchNet to release the token
immediately after transmitting data. Early token release is
available only on 16 Mbps systems. This feature enhances
ring performance.
Source
Routing There are four configurations for source routing.
All routes broadcast, non-broadcast return - indicates
that the frame will be transmitted on every route within the
network resulting in multiple copies on a given ring.
Single route broadcast, all route broadcast return -
indicates that the frame will be transmitted across the
designated bridges, which will result in the frame appearing
only once on each ring. The response frame in on all routes
broadcast to the originator.
Single route broadcast, non-broadcast return - indicates
the frame will be transmitted across designated bridges,
which will result in the frame appearing only once each ring.
None - indicates source routing is disabled. The route taken
by the frame will be determined by the bridges on the ring.
