NOTE: If your hub is running at 100 Mbps and half duplex, your potential bandwidth
is higher than if you run at 10 Mbps and full duplex.
Manually Configuring for Full Duplex
If your switch supports auto-negotiation with the N-way standard, duplex configura-
tion is automatic and no action is required on your part. However, few switches in the
current installed base support auto-negotiation. Check with your network system ad-
ministrator to verify. Most installations will require manual configuration to change to
full duplex.
Configuration is specific to the driver you're loading for your network operating sys-
tem (NOS), as shown in the following paragraphs.
To set up the duplex mode, refer to the section below that corresponds to your operat-
ing system.
Adapter performance may suffer or your adapter may not operate if your hub does not
support full duplex and you configure the adapter to full duplex. Leave the adapter on
half duplex if you are not sure what type of hub you are connected to.
