Network Configuration Worksheet
Fill out one worksheet for the networking data of each LAN port on the combination card you are installing.
Note 1
: To configure values permanently, edit the configuration files using SAM or an editor such as “vi”.
Using lanadmin will not preserve your settings across reboots.
Note 2
: The speed configuration of the card can be 10, 100, or 1000Mbps and is determined by the speed
setting of the hub or switch port to which the card is connected. The card automatically senses this speed. The
Base-T ports only run at one speed at a time. To verify the speed selection, run
lanadmin -x ppa#
.
