default to half-duplex. You must have an auto-negotiating switch/hub (an Nway switch) to get full-duplex support with the FORCEDUPLEX parameter set to 0 (auto-negotiation). o Full-duplex. The adapter sends and receives packets at the same time. This improves the performance of your adapter. Set duplex mode to full-duplex ONLY if you have a hub/switch that supports full-duplex. o Half-duplex. The adapter performs one operation at a time. It either transmits or receives. To set the adapter to half- or full-duplex mode, you must set the SPEED parameter to either 10 or 100. NOTE: The HP NC31xx, 340T, and NC71xx Server Adapters support full-duplex and halfduplex. The HP NC61xx fiber Gigabit Server Adapters support full-duplex mode only and cannot be changed. o Syntax: FORCEDUPLEX=n Where n = 0-auto-negotiate 1-half-duplex 2-full-duplex o Default = auto-negotiate o Examples: 100 Mbps full-duplex FORCEDUPLEX=2 SPEED=100 10 Mbps full-duplex FORCEDUPLEX=2 SPEED=10 • SLOT. (Required) For PCI adapters, SLOT is derived from bus number and device location as defined by the PCI specification. One way to determine the slot number is to load the driver from the command line. You will be prompted with valid device number(s) for the adapter(s). Select one of them. o Syntax: SLOT=n Where n = 1, 2, 3, 4,... • SPEED. This keyword specifies the speed the driver uses. If you do not use this parameter, the driver automatically detects the network speed. If unable to detect, the driver defaults to 10 Mbps. If you use this parameter, the driver operates at the specified speed instead of auto detecting network speed. o Syntax: SPEED=n Where n = 10 or 100 or 1000 o Default = The adapter automatically detects network speed. • NODE. This keyword specifies a locally administered address (LAA) unique to each adapter. Use this option to provide your own unique node address for the adapter. The node address is a 12-digit hexadecimal number. The second digit must be one of the following digits: 2, 6, A, E. o Syntax: NODE=xnxxxxxxxxxx Where n = 2, 6, A, E Where x = hexadecimal number o Default = The adapter's assigned address • FRAME.

Full-duplex.

The adapter performs one operation at a time. It either transmits or receives. To set
the adapter to half- or full-duplex mode, you must set the SPEED parameter to either 10 or 100.
