Parameter Descriptions
Property
Description
IEEE Compliance Enable
Disabled is used for non-compliant switches. Enabled requires that the
attached network device fully complies with 802.3ab.
Interrupt Hold Off Time
Specifies the amount of time between adapter interrupts. Under normal
operation, the adapter generates an interrupt every time a frame is
received. Reducing the number of interrupts improves CPU utilization.
Jumbo Frame Size
Enables sending larger Ethernet packets on Gigabit. Jumbo Frames can
increase throughput and decrease CPU utilization by putting more data
in each packet, thereby sending out fewer packets.
Jumbo Frames are not a part of the IEEE standard and can be used only
if supported by the other network equipment.
Network Address
Allows you to change the network address.
Network Media
Duplex is a performance option that lets you choose how the card
transmits and receives packets over the network.
Offload Rx IP Checksum
When enabled, this option allows the card to verify the IP checksum of
incoming packets.This will improve IP receive performance by offloading
this operation from the CPU. (Windows 2000, Me)
Offload Rx TCP Checksum
When enabled, this option allows the card to verify the TCP checksum
of incoming packets.This will improve TCP receive performance by
offloading this operation from the CPU. (Windows 2000, Me)
Offload Rx UDP Checksum
When enabled, this option allows the card to verify the UDP checksum
of incoming packets.This will improve UDP receive performance by
offloading this operation from the CPU. (Windows 2000, Me)
Offload Tx IP Checksum
When enabled, this option allows the card to compute the IP checksum
of outgoing packets.This will improve IP transmit performance by
offloading this operation from the CPU. (Windows 2000, Me)
Offload Tx TCP Checksum
When enabled, this option allows the card to compute the TCP checksum
of outgoing packets.This will improve TCP transmit performance by
offloading this operation from the CPU. (Windows 2000, Me)
Offload Tx UDP Checksum
When enabled, this option allows the card to compute the UDP checksum
of outgoing packets.This will improve UDP transmit performance by
offloading this operation from the CPU. (Windows 2000, Me)
