AT-2900 Series Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapters Installation Guide

Large Send Offload Property

Normally, the protocol stack performs TCP segmentation. When you enable the Large Send Offload property, the network adapter does the TCP segmentation. There are several Large Send Offload properties to choose from, depending on the TCP/IP version you are using on your PC. You can select IPV4, IPV4 version 2, or IPv6 version 2. By default, the Large Send Offload Property is disabled.

To change the Large Send Offload 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:

To 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.

To access the Windows Vista Device Manager, see “Selecting the Device Manager in Windows Vista” on page 45.

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 one of the following:

Large Send Offload (IPv4)

Large Send Offload v2 (IPv4)

Large Send Offload v2 (IPv6)

4.From the Value list on the Advanced tab, select one of the following:

Enable - Enables the Large Send Offload property.

Disable - Disables the Large Send Offload property. This is the default.

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 16.
