Connection speed and duplex ************************************************************ ** ** ** Speed and Duplex Options ** ** ** ************************************************************ Definitions ============================================================ ------------------------------------------------------------ Half duplex: The adapter can only transmit or only receive packets at any given time. It cannot transmit and receive at the same time. This is how traditional Ethernet works. ------------------------------------------------------------ Full duplex: The adapter can send and receive packets simultaneously. This feature can improve adapter performance by eliminating collisions. ------------------------------------------------------------ WARNING: The card and the connected device must be set to the same duplex mode. 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 the capabilies of the attached device. ------------------------------------------------------------ Speed: The AT-2700TX adapter card operates at a link speed of 100/10 Mbps. The AT-2700FX adapter card operates at a link speed of 100 Mbps. The AT-2450F adapter card operates at a link speed of 10 Mbps. ------------------------------------------------------------ Autonegotiation: Autonegotiation is not supported in Fiber (FX/FL) network segments. NWAY: Another term for autonegotiation. Trademark of National Semiconductor Corporation. NWAY is not supported in Fiber network segments. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Manually configuring duplex and speed: If the link is full duplex, manually set up the connection type using the SETUP utility on the CardAssistant diskette or with the NIC's advance properties on Windows 9X/2000. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Performance may suffer if the link partner is not full duplex and you configure the adapter to full duplex. Leave the adapter on half duplex if you are not sure. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Using SETUP utility to change settings: 1. Boot the computer into DOS with no drivers loaded. (In Windows 95, boot into the "Command prompt only" option. Press the F8 key when the message "Starting Windows 95" appears, and select "Command Prompt only", which is Startup menu choice 6.) 2. Insert the CardAssistant diskette in the floppy drive and launch SETUP27 (AT-2700) or SETUP24 (AT-2400). 3. Use the arrow keys to select the card (if necessary). Press ENTER. 4. Select Configuration. 5. Use Enter and the arrow keys to select connection. 6. Press F10 to preserve your change. * Third-party trademarks are the property of their respective owners.Download Driver Pack

Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
