  • Page 30 Add-on Card User's Guide Parameter Valid Range/Set- Default Description Name tings Since 7.3.x, the driver has two adap- tive modes (setting 1 or 3) in which it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrott- leRate value based on the traffi c that it receives.
  • Page 31 Safety Information and Technical Specifi cations Parameter Valid Range/Set- Default Description Name tings This value specifi es the number of receive buffer descriptors allocated by the driver. Increasing this value allows the driver to buffer more incoming packets, at the expense of increased system memory utilization.
  • Page 32 Add-on Card User's Guide Parameter Valid Range/Set- Default Description Name tings This value delays the generation of receive interrupts in units of 1.024 microseconds. Receive interrupt re- duction can improve CPU effi ciency if properly tuned for specifi c network traffi...
