This option allows the adapter to release a new token as soon as it has received back the header of its previously-sent frame and thus reduces the average time that another adapter must wait to gain access to the network. Adapters that do not support the Early Token Release option ignore this parameter. Enter YES or NO. The default for 16/4 adapters is YES."

The specified location must not conflict with that of any other adapter installed in the workstation or with an address that is used by an expanded-memory manager. The value entered must be a hexadecimal number between A000 and DE00 and must be a multiple of 400. There are addresses (C200, C600, ... , DE00) that can be set by hardware (switches) that the NIF file will not allow the installation aid to set.
