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 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 disabled.

To change the Flow Control property, perform the following procedure:

1. Start either a Windows Server 2003 or a Windows XP system and log

in.

You must have Administrator privileges to update the driver software.

2. On the desktop, right click My Computer.
