Full Duplex
* This option specifies whether to optimize the network driver for a normal
environment, a minimized CPU utilization environment, or a maximized network
performance environment. You may choose to use a larger percentage of CPU
resources under DOS in order to improve network throughput. In multitasking
environments, choose the Minimize CPU Utilization option to save the resources of
the CPU for other tasks. If no other applications are making major demands on CPU
resources, you can choose the Maximize Network Performance option.
CAUTION: Before setting the NIC for full duplex, make
sure the switch port is also set to full duplex.

Changing the Settings

To change the software option settings, follow
these steps:
1 Make sure the 3C515-TX NIC is installed and
connected to the network as described in Chapter 2.
