Auto Ring Speed Detection
An alternative way to access DynamicAccess Class of Service is to click the Properties button with the 3C319 NIC selected while you are viewing the adapters list. Using this method also allows you to disable or enable the auto ring speed detection option.
The auto ring speed detection option permits the NDIS 4 driver for Windows 95 and Windows NT to detect and operate at the current ring data rate. Auto ring speed detection is automatically enabled when you load the NDIS 4 driver. (This feature is not available with other 3C319 NIC drivers.)
To manually set the ring speed after disabling auto ring speed detection, see “Changing Configuration Option Settings” in Chapter 5.
