LNC Parameter Values

This topic lists all of the LNC parameter values used by the library. Some values may require that the system or the kernel be restarted before they take effect.

The RS notation next to a parameter indicates that setting this value will require a system restart.

The RK notation next to a parameter indicates that setting this value will require a kernel restart before the value takes effect.
