Configuring Ports for Duralink64 Port
Aggregation and FEC
Configuring the Ports in Windows 2000/XP
There is no need to configure the ports unless you want to change a
specific property value (for example, connection type, receive
buffers, and so forth). See
Note on DuraLAN NIC Ports on page 4-2
to configure property value; otherwise, leave everything as default.
Wih Cisco’s FEC, you can configure a minimum of two and a
maximum of four ports (a Cisco limitation). A three-port
configuration is not available—your options are either two or four
ports.
Configuring the Ports in Windows NT 4.0
In the Adaptec New Hardware Found window, each port is
assigned to Autodetect, the default connection type that always
detects port connection and negotiates a compatible speed and
transmission mode.
Caution:
This procedure is critical. Only one DuraLAN
driver can exist in a system. If a DuraLAN Standalone
driver, Duralink64 Failover driver, or Duralink64 Port
Aggregation driver exists, remove it. See
Removing
Previously Installed Drivers on page 3-10
