Description
When you disable link negotiation while installing a Gigabit Ethernet card, you can
select either half-duplex or full-duplex operation. If you select this field and press
Enter, you are prompted to choose between full and half settings:
• When full is selected, full-duplex signaling is enabled (default).
• When half is selected, half-duplex signaling is used.
If link negotiation has been disabled, you can select port speed to be either 10 Mbps,
100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps.
When you select this field and press Enter, you are prompted to choose between
allow and off settings:
• When allow is selected, and link parameter is set to auto, the card will negotiate
802.3x receive flow control with the device at the other end of the link. If the
other device supports 802.3x flow control, Rx flow control will be enabled.
• When off is selected, or link parameter is off, receive flow control is disabled.
When you select this field and press Enter, you are prompted to choose between
allow and off settings.
• When allow is selected, and link parameter is set to auto, the card will negotiate
802.3x transmit flow control with the device at the other end of the link. If the
other device supports 802.3x flow control,Tx flow control will be enabled.
• When off is selected, or link parameter is off, transmit flow control is disabled.
When you select this field and press Enter, you are prompted to choose between
on and off settings:
• Use on if the card is attached to a full-duplex repeater.
• Use off or leave the field blank if the card is not connected to a full-
duplex repeater.
Note: FDRFiltering is ignored on these cards.This parameter is included to maintain
driver compatibility with earlier models.
This parameter is reserved for future features or technical support use.
