To maximize your twinax performance for the client workstation, follow these
recommendations when using the configuration program:
Use the Local or None setting. The Local setting allows the devices on the
twinax subnet to recognize each other. The IP Broadcasting Transparent (or
default) setting allows non-twinax devices to include the twinax subnet in the
Network Neighborhood, and the twinax devices subnet to include the non-
twinax subnet in the Network Neighborhood. However, this function can
degrade twinax performance if the 5500 Control Unit is attached to a large
network.
