Parity
The integrity of data that pass from the network through the system and back to the network is
monitored by generating and checking parity information on all available data paths. All data errors
are detected immediately and can be reported.
User Diagnostics (DOS and Windows)
The user diagnostics programs (available for DOS and Windows) provide users, system adminis-
trators, and engineers with profound tools to analyze the network adapter and check adapter-spe-
cific data.
Marvell Network Control (Windows)
Marvell offers a utility program for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, Win-
dows 7. The “Marvell Network Control“ is part of the “Marvell Network Driver Installation Pac-
kage“ available for Windows 2000 XP/Server 2003/2008. With the “Marvell Network Control“, all
S2Konnect adapters can be controlled and configured. This tool displays the current configuration
and status of the S2Konnect N-3010AVB Adapters.
Predominantly, the “Marvell Network Control“ helps to perform the following tasks:
•
configuration of the adapters and their corresponding ports
•
monitoring of the status of the adapters installed
•
establishment of VLANs
•
building of teams (enabling of link aggregation according to IEEE 802.3ad)
•
enabling of RLMT for dual port adapters
•
monitoring of the voltage and temperature sensors
The “Marvell Network Control“ is started from the Control Panel window:
START > SETTINGS >
CONTROL PANEL >
NETWORK CONTROL
.
The various tabs contain trees showing the currently installed adapters and their configuration:
•
The “Adapter“ tab displays the network adapters available in your system with their corres-
ponding ports. It shows the ports which have been configured as VLANs, for RLMT, and those
which have been aggregated Into a team.
This tab only serves as an overview. For configuration, select one of the other tabs.
•
The “Virtual LAN“ tab lists all configured virtual LANs along with the corresponding ports and
the ports which may be bound by VLANs.
In this tab, the user can add, remove, and configure VLANs and set VLAN specific parameters.
•
The “Team” tab shows all links or ports which may be aggregated in a team or have already
been aggregated to form a team.
In this tab, the user can add, remove, rename, and configure teams.
•
The “RLMT” tab offers the possibility to configure dual port adapters for Redundant Link Ma-
nagement Technology (RLMT). RLMT monitors the status of both ports. If the link of the active
port fails, RLMT automatically switches to the standby link, and the connection is maintained.
In this tab, the user can add and remove RLMT to/from the ports and set RLMT specific para-
meters.
•
The “Protocol” tab shows all entities (port, VLAN, RLMT, Team) and the protocols which have
been bound to these entities.
•
The “Power Management” tab shows the current power management settings of all installed
adapters.
•
The “Statistics” tab lists statistic values, e.g., Transmit Packet OK (XMIT OK).
•
The “Sensors” tab shows the values of the voltage and temperature sensors (if available).
•
The “Specifications” tab lists fixed values during operating time, such as Hardware Revision,
Software version, Max. Frame Size.
•
The “Support” tab provides information on how to reach the Marvell Technical Support.
