Appendix A Advanced Properties
The default settings of the adapter should work in most cases. However, if you experience any unusual circumstances during your installation, these settings may help you to trouble shoot the adapter. Do not change any of these settings without a thorough understanding on your network. The following table briefly explains the function of each property.
Parameter | Description | Value | |
| The IEEE 802.1P signaling method is used for |
| |
802.1p Support Port A | traffic prioritization at OSI Reference Model | Off (default) | |
Layer 2. It is implemented in network adapters | On | ||
| and switches for |
| |
| (QoS). |
| |
|
| All Messages | |
| This parameter specifies the messages, which | Errors | |
Log Status Messages | None | ||
| are to be logged in the Event Log. | Status Messages (default) | |
|
| ||
|
| Warnings | |
| Specifies the maximum frame size in bytes that |
| |
| the driver will support. The performance of |
| |
Maximum Frame Size | your network usually increases when a large | ||
packet size is used. Do not use values larger | (default: 1514) | ||
| |||
| than 1514 if you are not sure the network |
| |
| structure supports jumbo frames. |
| |
|
| 100Mbps Full Duplex | |
| Specify the link speed of the adapter. For | 100Mbps Half Duplex | |
Media Type | 10Mbps Full Duplex | ||
| 10Mbps Half Duplex | ||
|
| Autosense (default) | |
Network Address | Allow the user to configure the network | Not Present | |
| address of the adapter. |
| |
| Defines the number of receive buffers |
| |
Number Of Receive | allocated by the driver. If the system does not | ||
have enough resources, the driver will fail to | |||
Buffers | load. Increasing this value may improve | (default: 50) | |
| performance. |
| |
| Defines the number of transmit buffers |
| |
Number Of Transmission | allocated by the driver. If the system does not | ||
Buffers | have enough resources, the driver will fail to | (default: 50) | |
| load. Increasing this value may improve |
| |
| performance. |
