Network Card Diagnostics

Quick Installation Guide

The first entry at the top of the table is the VLAN ID that is used in outbound VLAN tagged frames from the adapter. All entries in the table are used for filtering inbound frames with unlisted VLAN IDs. Note that the switch port the adapter is connected to should be assigned to the VLAN groups specified in the table or permit automatic VLAN registration with GVRP.

VLAN Capabilities

Three check-box options at the bottom of the VLAN Properties page provide control of the VLAN tagging. “Enable VLAN Filtering” must be checked for the card’s VLAN features to operate. If “Strip Inbound VLAN Tags” is checked, all incoming frames are processed as normal frames. When “Insert Outbound VLAN Tags” is checked, the VLAN ID from the top entry in the table will be appended onto every frame sent from the card.

Note that when you make a change to the VLAN Capabilities you must reboot the computer for the changes to take effect.

Select the “Diagnostics” tab in the utility window to test the basic functions of the adapter and its ability to communicate over the network with another adapter.
