Examples:

o100 Mbps full-duplex: FORCEDUPLEX=2 SPEED=100

o 10 Mbps full-duplex: FORCEDUPLEX=2 SPEED=10

•Syntax: SPEED= n (n = 10 or 100 or 1000)

Specifies the speed the driver uses. If you do not use this parameter, the driver automatically detects the network speed. If unable to detect the network speed, the driver defaults to 10 Mbps. If you use this parameter, the driver operates at the specified speed instead of auto-detecting network speed.

NOTE: The NC3133 adapter supports 100 Mbps only. It does not default to 10 Mbps. You must set the SPEED parameter to either 10 or 100 if you want to set the FORCEDUPLEX parameter to either half or full. The SPEED parameter is for N100.LAN driver and N1000.LAN. You cannot change the speed for the Gigabit (fiber) adapters. You can, however, change the speed for the NC7131 and NC7132 Gigabit (copper) adapters to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.

Default = The adapter automatically senses speed.

Other NDIS 2.x-based clients

To set the duplex options in other NDIS 2.x-based clients, edit the PROTOCOL.INI file. Add the FORCEDUPLEX and SPEED parameters to the N100 section, or the SPEEDUPLEX parameter to the N1000 section. For information on these parameters, refer to Keywords for N100 NDIS2 driver (on page 81) , Keywords for N1000 NDIS2 driver (on page 87), or Keywords for Q57 NDIS2 driver (on page 62).
