Optimizing Network Performance

When the network traffic is heavy, it can be identified by watching the
Utilization or Collision Ratio. It may be the time to tune the system to match
the environment.
Since the system resources are shared by all ports, the system allocates a
limited budget to every port to prevent one failed port from using up all the
resources. However, since the loading varies from port to port, the resources
allocated for each port should be changed based on the traffic via the Mini
Console to get the best network performance.
Three resource modes are available, Standard, Client Server and Peer to
Peer. While one mode is selected, the display will show the relative levels,
confirm the selection by pressing the ENTER key.
