Flow Control

Flow Control Configuration

To configure the Ethernet Adapter flow control, perform the following steps:

1)Click on the Flow Control tab. Figure 5-3shows the Flow Control tab page with the default settings.

2)Check the flow control settings of the device that you are connecting to the Ethernet Adapter. Change the Ethernet Adapter settings to match those of the connected device by clicking on the corresponding buttons. The flow control and the device settings must match. For example, if you are connecting to a device that is using RTS/CTS hardware flow control, set the Ethernet Adapter hardware flow control settings to RTS/CTS.
