XNRESET(C)                                     UNIX System V



     Name
          xnreset - reset the network adapter.


     Syntax
          xnreset [-n adaptername] [sessions] [ncbs]


     Description
          The  xnreset  command  allows  the   Client  network  system
          administrator  to  cancel  all outstanding network requests,
          remove all names from a network adapter, and set the  number
          of  sessions  and  ncbs currently configured on the machine.
          This command should only be used when erroneous  information
          has  corrupted the contents of the network adapter's memory.
          If the memory  has  been  corrupted,  the  xnstatus  command
          returns  a  timeout  message on the console. Note that using
          the xnreset command during file sharing tasks can result  in
          file corruption.


     Options
          The xnreset command accepts  three  arguments:  -n  and  two
          numeric arguments.

          -n name    Specifies which adapter to reset if more
                     than one is installed.  If this argument
                     is omitted and there is  more  than  one
                     adapter   installed,   a   list  of  the
                     installed adapters and all their  posted
                     names  is displayed.  This option is not
                     currently available.

          sessions   The first numeric argument specifies the
                     number  of  sessions  to  configure  the
                     adapter for.  The default is 20.

          ncbs       The  second  numeric  argument  is   the
                     number  of  network  control  blocks  to
                     configure the adapter for.  The  default
                     value is 32.

          If no numeric arguments are given, the default values of  20
          and 32 are used.


     Notes
          Because there is a finite amount of memory available on  the
          adapter,  any  increase in the number of sessions or network
          control blocks decreases the packet size.  The  packet  size
          listed  by an xnstatus is in bytes and represents the amount
          of   information   transferrable   in   a   single   network
          transaction.
