Broadcom Advanced Control Suite Overview
Broadcom Advanced Control Suite (BACS) is an integrated utility that provides useful information about each network adapter that is
installed in your system. BACS also enables you to perform detailed tests, diagnostics, and analyses on each adapter, as well as to
view and modify property values and view traffic statistics for network objects.
Broadcom Advanced Server Program (BASP), which runs within Broadcom Advanced Control Suite, is used to configure teams for
load balancing, fault tolerance, and virtual local area networks (VLANs). BASP functionality is available only on systems that use at
least one Broadcom network adapter.
Starting Broadcom Advanced Control Suite
In Control Panel, click Broadcom Control Suite 4, or click the BACS icon in the taskbar located at the bottom of the Windows
desktop.
