Figure 41. SMIT Configuration Menu for Adding an Auto 16/4 Token-Ring ISA Adapter

This configuration menu also provides the capability to select the Define
device only, do not configure
option to have the adapter defined but not
configured. Change this field value to yes. It will allow you to define the
adapter without configuring it. If any parameter conflicts were detected, an
error message similar to the following is displayed:

tok1 Defined
lsresource : The attribute(s) for some device(s) in the system
could not be resolved.

To resolve conflicts, attribute(s) need to be

modified.

A suggested value for each attribute is provided.

to select the previously set and tested parameters:

mkdev -c adapter -s isa -t tokenring -a intr_lvl=IRQ \

-a bus_io_addr=IO -a shared_mem_addr=MEM \
-a shared_mem_length=LEN -a bios_addr=BIOS
-a ring_speed=SPEED -p bus1
