Value. Assigns a unique node address for the adapter.

Not Present (Default). Uses the factory-assigned node address on the adapter.

The appropriate assigned ranges and exceptions for the locally administered address include the following:

*The range is 0000 0000 0001 to FFFF FFFF FFFD.

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

*Do not use all 0s or all F's.

ˆSpeed & Duplex. The Speed & Duplex property sets the connection speed and mode to that of the network. Note that Full-Duplex mode allows the adapter to transmit and receive network data simultaneously.

Note

This parameter is available only for copper devices and is not displayed for the AT-2916SX and AT-2931SX adapters.

10 Mb Full. Sets the speed at 10 Mbit/s and the mode to Full-Duplex.

10 Mb Half. Sets the speed at 10 Mbit/s and the mode to Half-Duplex.

10 Mb Half and 100 Mb Half settings force the network adapter to connect to the network in Half-Duplex mode. The network adapter may not function if the network is not configured to operate at the same mode.

100 Mb Full. Sets the speed at 100 Mbit/s and the mode to Full-Duplex.

100 Mb Half. Sets the speed at 100 Mbit/s and the mode to Half-Duplex.

10 Mb Full and 100 Mb Full settings force the network adapter to connect to the network in Full-Duplex mode. The network adapter may not function if the network is not configured to operate at the same mode.

Auto (default). Sets the speed and mode for optimum network connection (recommended). This setting allows the network adapter to dynamically detect the line speed of the network. Whenever the network capability changes, the network adapter automatically adjusts to the new line
