Advanced settings for HP NC-Series Intel adapters

These advanced properties are available for HP NC-Series Intel, Intel E1E, Intel E1Q, and Intel E1R drivers.

Property. Each adapter property displays only if the property is supported by the selected adapter.

  • Default = 1514 Bytes
  • Range: 1514 Bytes; 4088 Bytes; 9014 Bytes; 16128 Bytes
  • For NC365T adapters: 1514 Bytes; 4088 Bytes; 9014 Bytes
• Enable PME. Allows the use of power management and wake-up functions.
  • Default = No Action
  • Range = Disable; Enable; No Action; H/W Default
• Wake On. Available only when Enable PME is enabled. Allows you to choose what types of packets will cause the adapter to wake.
  • Default = Disable
  • Range = Disable; Magic Packet; Direct Packet, Magic and Direct Packets; OS Controlled

  For NC110x, NC360x, NC364T adapters: Default = OS Controlled

  For NC112x and NC362x, and NC365T adapters: Default = Magic and Direct Packets

• Gigabit Master Slave Mode. Determines IEEE 802.3ab Master-Slave resolution during gigabit auto negotiation.
  • Default = Auto Detect
  • Range = Auto Detect; Force Master Mode; Force Slave Mode
• Smart Power Down. Minimizes power consumption by enabling the adapter to enter a deep sleep mode under certain conditions.
  • Default = H/W Default
  • Range = Disable; H/W Default; Enable
• Wake on Link. Allows wake-up from Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) when link is reconnected.
  • Default = Disable
  • Range = Disable; Force
• Flow Control. Specifies the type of flow control that is needed.
  • Default = Rx/Tx Enable
  • Range = Disable; Tx Enable; Rx Enable; Rx/Tx Enable
• Receive-Side Scaling. Enables dynamic load balancing of incoming traffic across CPUs.
  • Default = Enabled
  • Range = Disabled; Enabled
• IPv4 Checksum Offload. Describes whether the device enabled or disabled the calculation of IPv4 checksums.
  • Default = Rx/Tx Enable
  • Range = Disable; Tx Enable; Rx Enable; Rx/Tx Enable
• TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4). Describes whether the device enabled or disabled the calculation of TCP Checksum over IPv4 packets.
  • Default = Rx/Tx Enable
  • Range = Disable; Tx Enable; Rx Enable; Rx/Tx Enable
• UDP Checksum Offload (IPv4). Describes whether the device enabled or disabled the calculation of UDP checksum over IPv4 packets.
  • Default = Rx/Tx Enable
  • Range = Disable; Tx Enable; Rx Enable; Rx/Tx Enable
• TCP/UDP Checksum Offload (IPv4). Describes whether the device enabled or disabled the calculation of TCP or UDP checksum over IPv4 packets. If this TCP/UDP Checksum Offload (IPv4) property is present, it overrides the TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4) and UDP Checksum Offload (IPv4) properties and they are disabled.
  • Default = Rx/Tx Enable
  • Range = Disable; Tx Enable; Rx Enable; Rx/Tx Enable
• TCP Checksum Offload (IPv6). Describes whether the device enabled or disabled the calculation of TCP checksum over IPv6 packets.
  • Default = Rx/Tx Enable
  • Range = Disable; Tx Enable; Rx Enable; Rx/Tx Enable
• UDP Checksum Offload (IPv6). Describes whether the device enabled or disabled the calculation of UDP checksum over IPv6 packets.
  • Default = Rx/Tx Enable
  • Range = Disable; Tx Enable; Rx Enable; Rx/Tx Enable
• TCP/UDP Checksum Offload (IPv6). Describes whether the device enabled or disabled the calculation of TCP or UDP checksum over IPv6 packets. This property overrides the TCP Checksum Offload (IPv6) and UDP Checksum Offload (IPv6) properties. If TCP/UDP Checksum Offload (IPv6) is present, TCP Checksum Offload (IPv6) and UDP Checksum Offload (IPv6) properties are disabled.
  • Default = Rx/Tx Enable
  • Range = Disable; Tx Enable; Rx Enable; Rx/Tx Enable
• Large Send Offload Version 1 (IPv4). Describes whether the device enabled or disabled the segmentation of large TCP packets over IPv4 for large send offload version 1 (LSOv1).
  • Default = Enabled
  • Range = Disabled; Enabled
• Large Send Offload Version 2 (IPv4). Describes whether the device enabled or disabled the segmentation of large TCP packets over IPv4 for large send offload version 2 (LSOv2).
  • Default = Enabled
  • Range = Disabled; Enabled
• Large Send Offload Version 2 (IPv6). Describes whether the device enabled or disabled the segmentation of large TCP packets over IPv6 for large send offload version 2 (LSOv2).
  • Default = Enabled
  • Range = Disabled; Enabled
• Receive Buffers. The size, in bytes, of the receive buffers that the hardware can support. This size is hardware-dependent and can include data buffers, buffer descriptors, and so on.
  • Default = 256
  • Range = 80-2048 (increments of 8)
• Transmit Buffers. The size, in bytes, of the transmit buffers that the hardware can support. This size is hardware-dependent and can include data buffers, buffer descriptors, and so forth.
  • Default = 512
  • Range = 80-2048 (increments of 8)
