Therefore 6 adapters that consist of two "Virtual", two "100Base", and two "1000Base" adapters will appear on the [Network and dialup connection] or [Device Manager] dialog box. Do not “disable” the status of this “Virtual Adapter”. If you enable it again, the system may become unstable and you may need to restart it.

Set IP address for "Virtual Adapter" after the settings of dual configuration. Do not set IP address for "100Base Adapter" or "1000Base Adapter".

Use a hub for dual configuration. Use a repeater hub or a switching hub for AFT function. Use a switching hub for ALB function.

Connect the network cables to the both primary and secondary PCI modules. After the settings of dual configuration, if one network cable is disconnected from a PCI module or a hub, the status of the PCI modules becomes simplex. In such case, if the network cable is connected to the PCI module or the hub again, the status of the PCI modules becomes duplex.
