Full Duplex Support
To implement Full Duplex on your network, you need both a NIC
and a switch that supports Full Duplex. Full Duplex support allows
a NIC to send and receive data at the same time, doubling available
bandwidth.
Note:
Full Duplex can also be enabled point-to-point with a
crossover cable instead of a switch.
Installation instructions in the following chapters describe how to
enable Full Duplex. Additional information can be found in the
readme.txt file.
Adaptec PCI 10 Mbps NICs support Full Duplex on twisted-pair
cabling; Adaptec PCI TX NICs support Full Duplex at both 10 Mbps
and 100 Mbps; Adaptec PCI T4 NICs support Full Duplex at 10
Mbps only.
Note:
BNC connections do not support Full Duplex.
