Quick Installation Guide

The first entry at the top of the table is the VLAN ID that is
used in outbound VLAN tagged frames from the adapter. All
entries in the table are used for filtering inbound frames with
unlisted VLAN IDs. Note that the switch port the adapter is
connected to should be assigned to the VLAN groups
specified in the table or permit automatic VLAN registration
with GVRP.

VLAN Capabilities

Three check-box options at the bottom of the VLAN Properties
page provide control of the VLAN tagging. “Enable VLAN
Filtering” must be checked for the card’s VLAN features to
operate. If “Strip Inbound VLAN Tags” is checked, all incoming
frames are processed as normal frames. When “Insert
Outbound VLAN Tags” is checked, the VLAN ID from the top
entry in the table will be appended onto every frame sent from
the card.

Note that when you make a change to the VLAN Capabilities
you must reboot the computer for the changes to take effect.

Network Card Diagnostics

Select the “Diagnostics” tab in the utility window to test the
basic functions of the adapter and its ability to communicate
over the network with another adapter.
