Updating the
Ethernet@
WireSpeed
Property
The Ethernet@Wirespeed property enables a Secure Ethernet Network
adapter to establish a link at a lower speed when only two pairs of wires
are available in the cabling plant. By default, the Ethernet@Wirespeed
property is enabled.
To enable or disable the Ethernet@WireSpeed property, do the following:
1. Access the Advanced tab:
 For Windows Server 2003 Operating systems, see “Selecting the
Advanced Tab in Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP” on
page 58.
 For Windows 7 Operating systems, see “Selecting the Advanced
Tab in Windows 7” on page 61.
 For Windows Vista Operating systems, see “Selecting the
Advanced Tab in Windows Vista” on page 63.
The Advanced tab is shown in Figure 30 on page 60.
2. From the Property list on the Advanced tab, select
Ethernet@Wirespeed.
3. From the Value list on the Advanced tab, select one of the following:
 Enable - Enables Ethernet@Wirespeed. This is the default.
 Disable - Disables Ethernet@Wirespeed.
4. Click OK.
5. If you are prompted to restart your computer, click Yes.
Although it is not necessary to reboot the system for new adapter
properties to take effect, Allied Telesis recommends rebooting
recommended to reinitialize all of the registers.
6. Verify that the adapter port LEDs are operating correctly. See one of
the following descriptions:
 “AT-2712FX/SC and AT-2712LX20/SC Adapters Physical
Descriptions” on page 17
 “AT-2912T Adapter Physical Description” on page 18
Updating the
Flow Control
Property
The Flow Control property allows you to enable or disable the receipt or
transmission of PAUSE frames which, in turn, allows the adapter and the
switch to control the transmit rate. The port side that receives the PAUSE
frame momentarily stops transmitting. The recommended selection is
Disable, which configures the adapter to ignore PAUSE frames. By
default, the Flow Control property is disabled.
