Adapter configurations 110
Properties for NC67xx and NC77xx Server Adapters
• Speed/Duplex Setting. Changes the current speed and duplex settings. Be sure this setting is
compatible with the link partner (examples: switch, hub).
o Default = Auto/Auto
o Range = Auto/Auto; 10/Half; 10/Full; 100/Half; 100/Full; 1000/Full
• Maximum Frame Size. Specifies the maximum number of bytes in a single packet. Larger frames can
increase throughput and decrease CPU use by putting more data in each packet, thereby sending
out fewer packets. This is equivalent to Jumbo Frames and must comply with switch limitations.
o Default = 1514 Bytes
o Range = 1514 Bytes; 4088 Bytes; 9014 Bytes
NOTE: All Gigabit team members must support maximum frame size for this parameter to be
enabled. If any one team member is not supported, then it is disabled for the team. Size of the
frame is determined by the lowest value for the team members. The 16128 setting applies for
Fiber Gigabit Ethernet server adapters only.
• Flow Control. Specifies the type of flow control that is needed.
o Default = Disable
o Range = Disable; Rx Pause; Tx Pause; Rx/Tx Pause; Auto

Advanced Server Program for NetWare
The following describes how to install and configure the Advanced Server Program (ASP).
Installing ASP
IMPORTANT: Teaming NC150, NC32x, NC37x, NC1020, NC6770, or NC77xx adapters
with NC110x, NC310, NC31xx, NC340x, NC360x, NC364x, NC61xx, or NC71xx
adapters is not supported for NetWare.
Load QASP.LAN just like a standard LAN driver with all necessary frame types for the team. QASP.LAN
requires a special VSLOT parameter to specify the virtual slot. The virtual slot can be viewed as a team
number.
NOTE: Before loading the network drivers, the recommended sequence is to load QASP.LAN.
This allows QASP.LAN to determine the initial link state of the bound adapters without delay.
Example:
LOAD QASP.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II NAME=QASP_1_EII VSLOT=1
If you are using the NetWare NIC agent (for example, Insight Manager) and teaming, you
must load BMAPI.NLM.
