for auto-negotiation. If this feature is on, and the speed is not set to auto-negotiation, the driver will wait for a short time for link to complete before reporting the link state.

oDefault = Auto Detect

oRange = Auto Detect; Off; On

•Wake on Link Settings. Wakes the computer if the network connection establishes link while the computer is in standby mode. To wake up a system from an S5 state, PME must be enabled.

oDefault = Disabled

oRange = Disable, Forced; OS Controlled

•Wake On Settings. Available only when Enable PME is enabled. Allows you to choose what types of packets will cause the adapter to wake.

oDefault for NC110x and NC364T = Wake on Magic & Directed

oDefault for NC360x and NC364m = OS Controlled o Default for NC6170 and NC7170 = Disabled

oRange = Disabled; Wake on Directed Packet; Wake on Magic & Directed; Wake on Magic Packet; OS Controlled

Although the default values should be appropriate in most cases, you may change any of the available options to meet the requirements of your specific system. It is recommended that you use the HP Network Configuration Utility to update HP NC-Series adapter properties. However, if you choose to update the properties using the operating system's Device Manager, the following lists the properties that are available for your HP adapter. The properties that are available through the HP NCU will differ. See the online help file for NCU adapter property information.

•802.1p QoS Packet Tagging. Enables or disables IEEE 802.1p tagging to send network traffic with different priority levels.

o Default = Disabled

o Range = Disabled; Enabled

•Number of Coalesce Buffers. Specifies the number of memory buffers available to the driver in case the driver runs out of available map registers. This buffer area is also used when a packet consists of many fragments. If no coalesce buffers or map registers are available, the driver is forced to queue the packet for later transmission. The preferred method of transmitting data is to use map registers, since it is the most efficient method.

o Default = 128 (for NC110x, NC360x, NC364x = 256) o Range = 16–768 (increments of 8)

•Flow Control. The Flow Control property allows the user to enable or disable the receipt or transmission of PAUSE frames. PAUSE frames enable the adapter and the switch to control the transmit rate. The side that is receiving the PAUSE frame will momentarily stop transmitting. The recommended selection is Auto and it is the default setting. To disable Flow Control, select Disable from the Value list on the Advanced tab.
