About MPX and 1Step
=============================
Key points for high MPX performance
------------------------------------
Accton's MPX Ethernet adapters (EN165x) are
performance-tuned for heavy network loads, like
transferring large files. This section describes
steps to optimize its performance on NetWare.
1. Make sure to install an EN165x adapter in both
the workstation and the file server.
2. Install both the workstation and the file
server drivers respectively.
a. ACCTON.COM is your workstation driver for NetWare DOS/ODI.
It is found in your Driver Diskette
(\NETWARE\ODI\DOSODI\ACCTON.COM)
b. ACCTON.LAN is your server driver for NetWare 3.x.
It is found in your Driver Diskette
(\NETWARE\ODI\3.1x\ACCTON.LAN)
3. Before running the ACCTON.LAN server driver, modify
the STARTUP.NCF file to include the following
command line:
SET MAXIMUM PHYSICAL RECEIVE PACKET SIZE = 4202
4. Use the Load and bind command to start the server driver.
