68 CHAPTER 4: INSTALLING DYNAMICACCESS SOFTWARE IN WINDOWS
■ In the next window, configure the IP address and
subnet mask.
Windows NT—Restart the computer when the software
prompts you to do so.
Specifying Traffic Priorities
You can use the DynamicAccess Software Setup window to
specify traffic priorities.
1 Double-click the 3Com DynamicAccess icon in the
Windows Control Panel.
The DynamicAccess Software Setup window appears.
2 Click the appropriate tab:
■ Traffic Prioritization—Prioritize applications to
ease bottlenecks in the network and allow critical
applications to take network precedence. You can
turn traffic prioritization on or off independently for:
– Each NIC that is not in a group and does not
have VLANs
– Each group that does not have VLANs
– Each VLAN
– Each virtual NIC (NIC, group, or VLAN) shown in
the Traffic Prioritization control panel
■ Administration—Set DynamicAccess control panel
access, set VLAN options, enable efficient multicast
control, and enable the prioritizing of multicast
traffic.
Saving the Configuration
To save and exit, click OK.
A prompt asks whether you want to configure traffic
prioritization. If you click Yes, the DynamicAccess Software
Setup window appears.
To exit without saving the configuration, click Cancel.
