CONFIGURING AND TESTING THE NETWORK CARD

Advanced Properties

Select the “Advanced Properties” tab in the utility window to view the network card’s configuration options. This window is shown below and the various items are described in the following table.

Link Parameters

The network card’s link speed, PHY type (physical connection to the network) and duplex mode can all be set from this page. However, if the “AutoNegotiate Link Parameters” box is checked these parameters are automatically determined and the configuration options greyed out. For most Gigabit Ethernet devices it is recommended to use Auto-Negotiation to set the link parameters. (Note that network card’s link speed can only be 1000 Mbps and the PHY type is always G/MII.)
