for auto-negotiation. If this feature is on, and the speed is not set to auto-negotiation, the driver will
wait for a short time for link to complete before reporting the link state.
o Default = Auto Detect
o Range = Auto Detect; Off; On
• Wake on Link Settings. Wakes the computer if the network connection establishes link while the
computer is in standby mode. To wake up a system from an S5 state, PME must be enabled.
o Default = Disabled
o Range = Disable, Forced; OS Controlled
• Wake On Settings. Available only when Enable PME is enabled. Allows you to choose what types of
packets will cause the adapter to wake.
o Default for NC110x and NC364T = Wake on Magic & Directed
o Default for NC360x and NC364m = OS Controlled
o Default for NC6170 and NC7170 = Disabled
o Range = Disabled; Wake on Directed Packet; Wake on Magic & Directed; Wake on Magic

Although the default values should be appropriate in most cases, you may change any of the available
options to meet the requirements of your specific system. It is recommended that you use the HP Network
Configuration Utility to update HP NC-Series adapter properties. However, if you choose to update the
properties using the operating system's Device Manager, the following lists the properties that are
available for your HP adapter. The properties that are available through the HP NCU will differ. See the
online help file for NCU adapter property information.

• 802.1p QoS Packet Tagging. Enables or disables IEEE 802.1p tagging to send network traffic with
different priority levels.
o Default = Disabled
o Range = Disabled; Enabled
• Number of Coalesce Buffers. Specifies the number of memory buffers available to the driver in case
the driver runs out of available map registers. This buffer area is also used when a packet consists of
many fragments. If no coalesce buffers or map registers are available, the driver is forced to queue
the packet for later transmission. The preferred method of transmitting data is to use map registers,
since it is the most efficient method.
o Default = 128 (for NC110x, NC360x, NC364x = 256)
o Range = 16–768 (increments of 8)
• Flow Control. The Flow Control property allows the user to enable or disable the receipt or
transmission of PAUSE frames. PAUSE frames enable the adapter and the switch to control the
transmit rate. The side that is receiving the PAUSE frame will momentarily stop transmitting. The
recommended selection is Auto and it is the default setting. To disable Flow Control, select Disable
from the Value list on the Advanced tab.
