Chapter 7 Selecting Duplex Mode (Optional) Manually Configuring for Full Duplex If your switch supports auto-negotiation with the NWay standard, duplex configuration is automatic and no action is required on your part. However, many currently installed switches do not support auto-negotiation. Check with your network system administrator to verify whether your switch supports this feature. Most installations require manual configuration to change to full duplex. Configuration is specific to the driver you're loading for your network operating system (NOS). To set up the duplex mode, refer to the section below that corresponds to your operating system. CAUTION Adapter performance may suffer or your adapter may not operate if your switch doesn't support full duplex and you configure the adapter to full duplex. The switch settings must always agree with the adapter. Also, make sure to always set the speed when you configure duplex. Setting Full Duplex in Windows NT/2000 While running Windows: 1. Double-click the HPSet icon from the Control Panel. 2. Click the Advanced Tab. 3. Select Duplex. 4. In the Duplex Mode list box, click Full Duplex. 5. Click OK. 6. Restart Windows.
