Chapter 11: Using the Adapter’s NIC

Control Set and Diagnostic Tools

This chapter describes how to use NIC Control Set, a window interface pro-
gram, to set up configurations for the Adapter and diagnose the Adapter’s sta-
tus.

If you haven’t already installed the utility, as mentioned in Chapter 4: Installing
the Adapter’s Drivers with the Setup Utility CD, do so now. Insert the Setup
Utility CD, right click your CD-ROM drive from My Computer, and select
Explore. Double-click the autorun folder to open it. Then, double-click the
utility folder to open that. Finally, double-click the NICControlSet.exe icon to
install the Control Set. When the installation is complete, restart your computer.

You can run the Control
Set by double-clicking
the icon in your system
tray, shown in Figure
11-1.

Right-clicking will
open a menu, shown
in Figure 11-2.
Select

The Resources Tab displays resources assigned to the Adapter by your
Windows operating system and any IRQ conflicts that might exist.

The Driver Tab, shown in Figure 10-11, allows the Adapter to save power when
not in use. There are two ways in which the Adapter does this.

Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby. Any PC equipped
with the Adapter, that is in Standby mode, will come out of Standby mode to
receive packets sent to it from the network.

All the computer to turn off this device to save power. After the Adapter is
unused for a few minutes, this setting will allow your computer to power down
the Adapter to save power.
