This chapter describes how to change configuration
settings for the 3C515-TX NIC.
You can change the 3C515-TX default configuration
settings using the 3Com
EtherDisk diskette Configuration
and Diagnostic Program. Before you change the
configuration settings, contact your system administrator.
By changing configuration settings, you can:
■
Manually select the network speed at which the NIC
transmits and receives data
■
Improve driver performance for the MS Windows
(Windows 3.x, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95,
or Windows NT) operating system on the computer
with the installed NIC
■
Enable or disable full duplex mode if you changed the
Media Type option to 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX
■
Eliminate configuration conflicts with another device
The NIC supports full duplex at 10 Mbps. If the switch
supports the NWay feature and full duplex, the NIC
automatically runs in full duplex.
Table 6-1 lists each software option, the default setting,
and the available settings. Refer to the online help (press
[F1] when the option is highlighted) for more information
about each setting.
