Configuration
This section describes the configuration procedure in a Windows
environment. When you install the Windows driver, the
configuration utility is also installed. You can run this utility by
clicking on the “Properties” button for the card in the “Network”
control panel applet. Using this utility you configure the following
parameters:
Address
This field lets you set a local network MAC address to override the
permanent MAC address that is stored in EEPROM on the card. This
feature is useful if the card is being used in a test environment.
However, for normal use it is recommended to retain the factory-set
“Permanent” MAC address.
IEEE Compliant Link
This option should be set to disabled if the link partner does not
comply to the IEEE 802.3 specifications for 1000BASE-T network
cards. This is often characterized by an intermittent connection and
can occur with older Gigabit Ethernet hardware.
