Using Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 3
To start BACS 3, click Broadcom Control Suite 3 in the Control Panel.
Click the tab that provides the information of interest such as to perform a
desired test, diagnostic, analysis, or set adapter properties. To create a
team, see Chapter 2, “Configuring Teaming” on page 43.
Using the
Interface
BACS 3 features a context-sensitive interface. When an item is selected in
the Explorer View, such as an adapter, driver, team, or VLAN, the
interface changes to display the information and options available for the
selected item. Certain tabs, menu options, and device information are only
available based on the types of devices installed or the item selected in
the interface.
Two buttons at the bottom of the interface control what you want to
manage. Click the Device Management button to manage the connected
devices (see “Displaying Device Management Information,” next). Or,
click the Team Management button to create and manage teams (see
“Team Management” on page 16).
Displaying Device
Management
Information
The Device Management pane lists the devices that can be viewed,
analyzed, tested, or adjusted by BACS 3. When an item is selected in the
Device Management pane, the tabs showing the information and options
that are available for the item appear. Because the BACS 3 interface is
context-sensitive, only the information that applies to the selected item can
be displayed or adjusted.
The items in Device Management can be listed by type or by connection.
To list items in Device Management by type, do the following:
 At the top of the Device Management pane, click By Type. The Device
Management Page is displayed. See Figure 1 on page 15.
A single hardware device may use several different drivers. Device
Management breaks each item into separate categories.
 Network Adapters. Lists the available NDIS client adapters.
