This topic contains helpful tips, tricks, and configuration recommendations for wRTOS network components.
Packet Schedule Mini Port Drivers
A network adapter in Windows may have multiple instances in the Windows Device Manager: one for the NIC driver, and one for the Packet Schedule mini-port driver associated with it. When you convert the adapter from Windows to wRTOS control, you only need to convert the NIC driver. You do not need to convert the associated mini-port driver.
Note: A warning indicator may appear for the mini port driver associated with the NIC you converted. This is intended behavior that requires no further action.
Delays in Stack Response
When the stack is started, initialization procedures occur before the stack is online. You will experience a delayed response from the stack if you begin calling the stack before the initialization has completed.
Running in Verbose Mode
You can run the TCP/IP stack in verbose mode to enable verbose logging, which can be helpful in determining issues with the stack. You can turn on verbose mode using wRTOS Settings.
Note: Running the stack in Verbose mode may cause the TCP/IP stack to slow during system shutdown.
Note: You must restart the network for your changes to take effect. If you plan to make other changes that require a restart of the network, make those additional changes first and then restart the network when you are finished. You must stop all network-enabled processes before you can restart.
