5CHANGING CONFIGURATION
This chapter describes how to display and change
configuration settings for the 3C905B-TX NIC using the
3Com NIC Diagnostics program.
Before you change the settings, contact your system
administrator.
Configuration Settings
Table 5-1 lists each configuration option, the default
setting, and the available settings.
.
CAUTION: Before setting the 3C905B-TX NIC for full-duplex,
make sure that the switch port is also set to full-duplex or
supports full-duplex and auto-negotiation (NWay).
Full-duplex at 100 Mbps improves the performance of
switch (hub) connections. The 3C905B-TX NIC supports
full-duplex at 10 or 100 Mbps. If the switch supports the
NWay feature and full-duplex, the 3C905B-TX NIC
automatically runs in full-duplex.
