AT-29xx Series Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapters Installation Guide

To change the Network Address property, do the following:

1.For Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP systems, access the System Properties Dialog Box. See “Modifying Configuration Properties” on page 39.

For Windows 2008 R2, Windows 7, and Windows Vista systems, access the Device Manger for your operating system:

ˆTo access the Device Manager window in Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 7, see “Selecting the Device Manager in Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7” on page 44.

ˆTo access the Windows Vista Device Manager, see “Selecting the Device Manager in Windows Vista” on page 46.

2.Click the Advanced tab.

The Advanced tab is shown in Figure 21 on page 56.

3.From the Property list on the Advanced tab, select Network Address.

4.In the Value list on the Advanced tab, enter the Locally Administered Address. Here are some guidelines:

ˆThe range is 0000 0000 0001 to FFFF FFFF FFFD.

ˆDo not use a multicast address (least significant bit of the high byte = 1).

ˆDo not use all 0's or all F's.

5.Click OK.

6.If prompted to restart your computer, click Yes.

Although it is not necessary to reboot the system for new adapter properties to take effect, rebooting is recommended to reinitialize all registers.

7.Verify that the port LED operates as described in “LEDs” on page 18.

Priority & VLAN Priority allows you to prioritize traffic or limit bandwidth instead of treating all traffic in the same manner. A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a logical area network that extends beyond a traditional LAN to a group of logical LANs.

By default, this property is set to Priority & VLAN Enabled.

To set the port priority and assign a VLAN ID, do the following:

1.For Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP systems, access the System Properties Dialog Box. See “Modifying Configuration Properties” on page 39.
