These switch settings typically work with any Ethernet Version 2.0 or IEEE 802.3 controller device. You may change the Half Step switch and Collision Mode switch to optimize opera- tional parameters for a particular controller type.
To make these optimizations, you must know the following two facts about your Ethernet con- troller:
1.Is the controller Ethernet V2.0 or IEEE 802.3?
Most new products today are based on the IEEE 802.3 AUI interface standard. Some controllers are still based on Ethernet V2.0. Differences exist between the two standards in AUI pinouts and signaling characteristics. If you are in doubt, keep the Half Step switch enabled.
