Definitions
===========
Duplexing. A performance option that lets you choose how
the adapter sends and receives packets over the network.
Half duplex. The adapter performs one operation at a
time (because send and receive lines are shared); it
either sends or receives.
Full duplex. (Requires full-duplex switching hub.) The
adapter sends and receives packets simultaneously by
using a different wire to perform each function. This
feature can improve adapter performance by eliminating
collisions.
Warning: Incorrectly forcing a specific duplex mode may
result in poor performance. Consult your LAN
administrator before forcing a duplex mode or if you
don't know what kind of hub you're attached to.
Configuring for full-duplex
===========================
If the link is full duplex, set up the connection type
using the SET2400 utility on the CardAssistant diskette.
Note that performance may suffer if your hub is not full
duplex and you configure the adapter to full duplex. Leave
the adapter on half duplex if you are not sure what type of
hub you are connected to.
1. Boot the computer into DOS with no drivers loaded. (In
Windows 9X, boot into the "Command prompt only" option.
