• N/A . Algorithm failed to reach a conclusion.
Link.
The link connection speed and duplex mode.
Status.
The status after the test is run, either completed or failed.
There are several factors that could have an effect on the test results:
• Link partner . Various switch and hub manufacturers implement different PHYs. Some PHYs are not IEEE
compliant.
• Cable quality . Category 3, 4, 5, and 6 may affect the test results.
• Electrical interference . The testing environment may affect the test results.
Setting Adapter Properties
Advanced on the Configurations tab allow you to view and change the values of the available properties of
the selected adapter. The potentially available properties and their respective settings are described below.
To set adapter properties
1. Click the name of the adapter in the Explorer View pane, and click the Configurations tab.
2. From the Advanced section, select the property you want to set.
3. To change the value of a property, select an item from the property’s list or type a new value, as appropriate
(selection options are different for different properties).
4. Click Apply to confirm the changes to all properties. Click Reset to return the properties to their original
values.
802.1p QOS.
Enables quality of service , which is an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE)
specification that treats different types of network traffic diversely to ensure required levels or reliability and
latency according to the type of traffic. This property is disabled by default. Unless the network infrastructure
supports QoS, do not enable this property. Otherwise, problems may occur.
Flow Control.
Enables or disables the receipt or transmission of PAUSE frames. PAUSE frames allow the
network adapter and a switch to control the transmit rate. The side that is receiving the PAUSE frame
momentarily stops transmitting.
• Auto (default). PAUSE frame receipt and transmission are optimized.
• Disable . PAUSE frame receipt and transmission are disabled.
• Rx PAUSE . PAUSE frame receipt is enabled.
• Rx/Tx PAUSE . PAUSE frame receipt and transmission are enabled.
• Tx PAUSE . PAUSE frame transmission is enabled.
Notes:
• You must have administrator privileges to change the values for a property.
• The list of available properties for your particular adapter may be different.
• Some properties may not be available for all Broadcom network adapters.
