PC Server 315 - Configuring for other Operating Systems

Applicable to: World-Wide

Refer to the help files on the Ethernet Configuration and Drivers program for instructions on configuring for other operating systems.

To view the help files:

1. Insert the Ethernet Configuration and Drivers diskette in drive A, and switch to that drive.
2. At the operating-system prompt, type "SETUP \README".
3. Press ENTER.
4. Select INSTALLING 100/10 PCI ETHERNET ADAPTER DRIVERS; then, follow the instructions on the screen.

Duplexing

Duplexing is a performance option that lets you choose how the adapter sends and receives packets over the network. There are three duplex modes:

1) FULL DUPLEX
The adapter sends and receives packets at the same time, increasing adapter performance. This mode requires a
full-duplex hub.

2) HALF DUPLEX
The adapter performs one operation at a time: it either sends or receives packets.

3) AUTO-NEGOTIATE
The adapter negotiates with the hub how to send and receive packets, either full or half duplex.

Configuring for Full-Duplex

If you have a hub that does not support auto-negotiation, manually configure the adapter for full-duplex support. Configuration is specific to the device driver that you are loading for the network operating system.

NOTE:
You must set the adapter speed when configuring for full-duplex support. Do not leave the speed set to auto-negotiate.
