MORE INFORMATION

Programs that manage multiple devices and performance data for each device must add a Linkage registry subkey to the Services registry subkey. The Linkage registry key must contain an Export entry. The value of this entry is a list of the device names.

For example, a system with two Etherlink cards might use the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Elnkii\Linkage

The value of the Export entry in this subkey might be similar to the following:

"\Device\Elnk01" "\Device\Elnk02"
