AT-2874SX Gigabit Ethernet Fiber ExpressCard Installation and User’s Guide

Overview

The AT-2874SX ExpressCard allows you to modify advanced properties to meet your requirements. To access the advanced properties, access Device Manager, then go to each advanced property page.

Guidelines Here are the guidelines to modifying the advanced properties:

To change the advanced property settings, you must have Administrator privileges.

When you upgrade the driver software, the settings of the advanced properties may change. Verify the settings after upgrading the driver software.

If the Speed & Duplex, Wake on Magic Packet, or Wake on Pattern Match property shows options, the proper Allied Telesis driver is not installed.
