•FORCEDUPLEX. If no duplex setting is specified, the adapter auto-negotiates the duplex with the hub/switch. If the adapter and hub/switch are unable to auto-negotiate, HP adapters default to half- duplex. Full-duplex allows for simultaneous transmit and receive data transfer. Full-duplex can be used only when the adapter is connected to a hub that supports and is enabled both for full-duplex mode and for the specified speed.
