Overview
The Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 2 (BACS 2) is a graphical user
interface that provides useful information about each network adapter that
is installed in your computer. The BACS application also enables you to
perform detailed tests, diagnostics, and analyses on each adapter, as well
as view traffic statistics and set configuration options for each adapter
using the following tabs:
ˆ
“Vital Sign Tab” on page 134 provides at-a-glance status reports on all
of the LAN devices in your computer.
ˆ
“Resources Tab” on page 136 displays the system resources of the
selected device.
ˆ
“Hardware Tab” on page 137 displays the hardware information (the
ASIC version and the firmware version) for the selected device.
ˆ
“Advanced Tab” on page 138 shows the AT-2711FX Fast Ethernet
adapter driver properties (for the Windows 2003/XP 64-bit operating
system only)
ˆ
“Network Test Tab” on page 140 allows you to verify IP network
connectivity. This test verifies if the NDIS driver is installed correctly. It
also tests connectivity to a gateway or other specified IP address on
the same subnet.
ˆ
“Diagnostics Tab” on page 141 allows you to perform comprehensive
diagnostics on Broadcom-based network adapters.
ˆ
Cable analysis - This feature, which displays the condition of the
copper cabling, is visible but is not supported on the AT-2711FX Fast
Ethernet adapter.
