4 Can I use the Adaptec Duralink64 v4.2 software with NICS
from other vendors?
Duralink64 v4.2 software only works with Adaptec PCI 10/100
DuraLAN NICs but is fully interoperable with other products
from other vendors.
5 Which protocols work with Duralink64 v4.2 software and my
DuraLAN NICs?
TCP/IP and NetBEUI under Windows NT and TCP/IP and
IPX/SPX under NetWare.
6 Does Duralink64 v4.2 software or the DuraLAN NICs support
AppleTalk?
No
7 Does Duralink64 v4.2 or my DuraLAN NIC support routing?
Routing functionality is provided by network operating
systems, and not by NICs themselves. The NIC can be used
with server operating systems (like Novell NetWare and
Windows NT) that support routing.
8 What is the difference between the Duralink64 v4.2 and
Duralink v3.0 software?
Duralink64 v4.2 is the software written for Adaptec's
DuraLAN ASIC (used on the ANA-69011/TX,
ANA-62011/TX, ANA-62022, and ANA-62044). Duralink v3.0
is the software written for Adaptec's legacy NICs based on the
DEC/Intel ASICs (used on the ANA-6911A/XX,
ANA-6922A/XX, and ANA-6944A &B/XX.
9 Can I use the Duralink64 v4.2 software with the legacy
Adaptec DEC-based NICs?
No. The Duralink64 v4.2 software is written only for the new
Adaptec DuraLAN NICs and will not support the legacy
Adaptec DEC-based NICs. You can use both cards in one
system if you load both the Duralink64 v4.2 and Duralink v3.0
software. However, you can not mix and match Adaptec
legacy DEC-based cards and Adaptec DuraLAN cards in a
single port aggregation or failover group.
