Overview
Duplexing is a performance option that lets you choose how the adapter sends and receives packets over the network.
There are two duplex modes available when using the twisted-pair ethernet (TPE) connector:
l
Half duplex
—
The adapter performs one operation at a time; it either sends or receives. This is the default mode.
l
Full duplex
—
The adapter sends and receives packets at the same time when connected to an ethernet switch, increasing network performance.
