AT-2900 Series Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapters Installation Guide

Note

This parameter is ignored and assumed to be 1 if the line_speed parameter is set to 0.

full_duplex

This parameter is used together with line_speed to select the speed and duplex mode of the link. Note that this parameter is ignored if line_speed is 0. Choose from the following selections:

0 - half duplex

1 - full duplex (default)

rx_flow_control

Enables or disables receiving flow control (pause) frames. This parameter is used together with auto_flow_control. Choose from the following selections:

0 - pause receive disabled

1 - pause receive enabled if auto_flow_control is set to 0, or pause receive advertised if auto_flow_control is set to 1 (default)

tx_flow_control

Enables or disables transmitting flow control (pause) frames. This parameter is used together with auto_flow_control. Choose from the following selections:

0 - pause transmit disabled

1 - pause transmit enabled if auto_flow_control is set to 0, or pause transmit advertised if auto_flow_control is set to 1 (default)

auto_flow_control

Enables or disables Auto-Negotiation of flow control. This parameter is used together with rx_flow_control and tx_flow_control to determine the advertised flow control capability. Choose from the following selections:

0 - flow control Auto-Negotiation disabled

1 - flow control Auto-Negotiation enabled with capability specified in rx_flow_control and tx_flow_control (only valid if line_speed is set to 0 or auto_speed is set to 1) (default)

mtu

Enables jumbo frames up to the specified MTU size. The valid range for this parameter is 1500 to 9000. The default is 1500 which
