Teaming Function Operation Guide

Dual LAN with Teaming function enabled on this motherboard allows two single
connections to act as one single connection for twice the transmission bandwidth,
making data transmission more effective and improving the quality of transmission
of distant images. Fault tolerance on the dual LAN network prevents network
downtime by transferring the workload from a failed port to a working port.
The speed of transmission is subject to the actual network environment
or status even with Teaming enabled.
Before setting up Teaming function, please make sure if your Switch (or Router)
could support Teaming (IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation) function. (For example:
D-Link DGS-3100.) Then, please refer to following steps to set up Teaming function
according to the OS you install.
