Speed & Duplex.
The Speed & Duplex property sets the connection speed and mode to that of the network. Note
that Full-Duplex mode allows the adapter to transmit and receive network data simultaneously.
•
10 Mb Full
. Sets the speed at 10 Mbit/s and the mode to Full-Duplex.
•
10 Mb Half
. Sets the speed at 10 Mbit/s and the mode to Half-Duplex.
•
100 Mb Full
. Sets the speed at 100 Mbit/s and the mode to Full-Duplex.
•
100 Mb Half
. Sets the speed at 100 Mbit/s and the mode to Half-Duplex.
•
Auto
(default). Sets the speed and mode for optimum network connection (recommended).
Wake Up Capabilities.
Enables the network adapter to wake up from a low-power mode when it receives a
network wake-up frame. Two types of wake-up frames are possible: Magic Packet and Wake Up Frame.
This property is only available for Broadcom NetXtreme adapters.
•
Both
(default).
Selects both Magic Packet and Wake Up Frame as wake-up frames.
•
Magic Packet
. Selects Magic Packet as the wake-up frame.
•
None
.
Selects no wake-up frame.
•
Wake Up Frame
. Selects Wake Up Frame as the wake-up frame and allows the network adapter to wake
the system when an event such as a ping or an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) request is received.
This option works in conjunction with the operating system power mode saving and does not work if the
Power Save setting does not enable WOL.
Priority & VLAN.
Allows enabling both the prioritization of network traffic and VLAN tagging. VLAN tagging only
occurs when the VLAN ID setting is configured with a value other than 0 (zero).
•
Priority & VLAN Enabled (default)
. Allows for packet prioritization and VLAN tagging.
•
Priority & VLAN Disabled
. Prevents packet prioritization and VLAN tagging.
•
Priority Enabled
. Allows packet prioritization only.
•
VLAN Enabled
. Allows VLAN tagging only.
Notes:
• Auto is the recommended setting. This setting allows the network adapter to dynamically detect
the line speed of the network. Whenever the network capability changes, the network adapter
automatically detects and adjusts to the new line speed and duplex mode. A speed of 1 Gbit/s is
enabled by selecting Auto, when that speed is supported.
• 1 Gb Full Auto must be attached to a link partner that is also capable of a 1 Gb connection. Since
the connection is limited to a 1 Gb connection only, the Ethernet@Wirespeed feature will be
disabled. If the link partner supports a 1 Gb connection only, the Wake on LAN feature may not
work. Additionally, management traffic in the absence of an operating system may also be affected.
• 10 Mb Half and 100 Mb Half settings force the network adapter to connect to the network in Half-
Duplex mode. Note that the network adapter may not function if the network is not configured to
operate at the same mode.
• 10 Mb Full and 100 Mb Full settings force the network adapter to connect to the network in Full-
Duplex mode. The network adapter may not function if the network is not configured to operate at
the same mode.
