4-8 Teaming Dual LAN with Teaming functionality 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 image(s). 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. • To enable Teaming or Bonding (IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation) feature, it is required the connected network switch or router device supports the IEEE 802.3ad LACP standard. Please refer to your network switch or router device manual for further details. A. Enabling Teaming Functionality in Windows XP: Select Realtek Ethernet Teaming Utility and click Install.
