Flow Control

The Flow Control property allows you to enable or disable the receipt or
transmission of PAUSE frames which enable the adapter and the switch to
control the transmit rate. The port side that is receiving 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 set to disabled.

Note

You must have Administrator privileges to update the driver
software.
