oRange = 1–32

•Flow Control Settings. 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 Off and it is the default setting. To disable Flow Control, select Off from the Value list on the Advanced tab.

oDefault = Off

oRange = Off, Generate, Respond, Respond and Generate Off. PAUSE frame receipt and transmission is disabled Generate. PAUSE frame transmission is enabled Respond. PAUSE frame receipt is enabled

Respond and Generate. PAUSE frame receipt and transmission is enabled

•Link Speed & Duplex. Allows the user to set the connection speed to the network and mode. Full- Duplex Mode allows the adapter to transmit and receive network data simultaneously.

oDefault = Auto Detect

oRange

100 Mbps/Full-Duplex: Sets the speed at 100 Mbps and mode to Full-Duplex

100 Mbps/Half-Duplex: Sets the speed at 100 Mbps and mode to Half-Duplex

10 Mbps/Full-Duplex: Sets the speed at 10 Mbps and mode to Full-Duplex

10 Mbps/Half-Duplex: Sets the speed at 10 Mbps and mode to Half-Duplex

Auto Detect: Sets the speed and mode for optimum network connection

•Locally Administered Address. Specifies the user-defined MAC Address of the adapter; overrides the burned-in MAC Address. This is a read-only field if the adapter is teamed.

o Default = Not Present

o Range = Value; Not Present

•Receive Buffers. Specifies the number of buffers used by the driver when copying data to the protocol memory. In high network load situations, increasing receive buffers can increase performance. The tradeoff is that this also increases the amount of system memory used by the driver. If too few receive buffers are used, performance suffers. If too many receive buffers are used, the driver unnecessarily consumes memory resources.

o Default = 48

o Range = 8–1024 (increments of 1)

•Transmit Control Blocks. Specifies the number of resources that are allocated to transmit packets. o Default = 16

o Range = 1–64
