Here we had a high-traffic servers, the constant problems with the network have at NIC, so we tried to investigate what all the different settings on the Advanced tab of the adapter properties.For mean for this example, I studied HPNC373i, but The exact settings available differ from one production to another.

First things first, and I can not emphasize this enough to ensure that the latest firmware and drivers from the manufacturer's website. That alone can a huge difference.

I'm under the recommended settings for you:

- Wire-speed Ethernet

- Receive Side Scaling

Flow Control -

- Speed ​​and Duplex

- Transfer buffer

- Buffer

- 802.1p

802.1p can remain disabled. What it does is mark packets for QoS for intelligent connected devices to prioritize traffic other.

In a standard Ethernet cable has four pairs of the Son (8). 1000BaseT adapter as little as two pairs are in the order the first time, to negotiate the data rate used for the connection. This can can cause problems for the speed of the Ethernet cable to the adapter at a slower speed (which is a Broadcom chipset driver-specific) to connect. I recommend disabling this, and this can sometimes cause problems, speed problems, especially.

Flow control must be disabled. What it does is moderate traffic in mixed networks of Mb and go traffic in general, more harm than good, since most of those things that already exist in the TCP stack.

Receive buffer should be as large as possible. This determines the amount of memory assigned to the NIC for the treatment. It should be noted that the server is to use less memory, at best be left in the car. The pads are made out of physical memory on the server.

Transmit buffers similar to the receive buffer to the number of packets in the network adapter can have on the tail fit. Always have been established at the highest. Transfers all buffers are of physical memory on the server.

The speed has to support at the peak position of the switch and duplex can be set to FULL. Then you can also go back and configure the switch or router, the server is connected to the same configuration.

Receive Side Scaling must be used if the server has multiple cores and Hyper-Threading to be. Download RSS workflows of each IAS server instead of one. This is useful for a wide distribution of CPU load.

There are many institutions of the need to put safety first. This includes military and state institutions in which the number of security measures extremely high. All this is done to prevent confidential data from leaving office, and security controls are common. Employees use the cards and access cards to certain areas or only in their offices to go. These cards are usually created by specialized companies, but there are some institutions that do not want to risk your ID cards double as a result of the lack of security in the building business, and their own identity cards at home. Special ID Card Printers are accustomed to a specialist for the printing of the card. The ID of the printer is not a normal printer for a specific function changes, as some might think, because it is designed specifically for this task and this task alone conceived.

There are certain advantages and disadvantages that come with the creation of ID cards at home. Although this is the only way that some schools, most institutions have to come to a decision, and it is important to carefully analyze the situation and determine whether it is worth it or not.

Most security is one of the biggest advantages of the card construction. There are no identity cards of the models in the wrong hands can be found if all equipment is placed inside the building are available and the cards are there. Could have gone though the identity cards or models from the ID-card business, the institutions that manage the process themselves usually have very high safety and no risk of this happening.

The second advantage is money. This can be expensive at first, because the costs required for the equipment to print the cards, and do the salary of the person can add up quickly, but set the cost per card is lower than the purchase of a card. So, per person, the costs are lower, but it will take some time for property investment, to make the payment.

The third advantage is the possibility that ID cards is adjusted until they are exactly as planned. It is true that the card companies also allow models of settings until the customer is satisfied is to do, but in the situation, at home, if necessary, is certainly an advantage that it can not be ignored.

With regard to the disadvantages, it is the person who actually creating maps. Since this is a complicated process, with special software and a special printer in question is the ability of the person operating the software and the printer is very important. If this person is not able to create maps, the only result will be mediocre at best. The experience is very important here, and only those who have done this before successfully passes may be based on the needs of employers,

Well, not so much the risk of poor results, because the person does not believe that he trained in the use of software or printer, the results can be excellent, but the salary of the person who thinks this should also be greater. The money saved is reduced to the card, and allows you to recover the initial investment in equipment, to take even longer.

It must decide each company, what is most important. Pay a little extra for card printing by professionals, or just do it at home by buying printers, ID cards and hire someone, such as your printer and the ID knows how to use special software. Find someone qualified enough for this may be difficult, and someone takes a very long training time. A good compromise would be to start training someone to create the maps, ordering the first batch of identity cards to a specialized company. This ensures that the first cards on time, and after the person hired to create the maps are well trained, he or she can take over. The only problem is that someone is willing to train new employees to create the maps found.

There are many institutions to use the cards as a means of security and identification. As more and more to get ID cards from their jobs, and they should take care of, the holders of identity cards have become very popular. Owners of small and the integrity of the card and make sure not to miss. A cable can also be used instead of a card holder, for those who prefer it. However, most people depend on the use of the cardholder's because they are smaller and more convenient. Large institutions and companies tend to allow the owner who, while smaller institutions may not, or not, you can create your own ID card printer to buy to buy securities, because they buy a service for a company that passes created. The creative process is not as easy as it sounds, even though many people to believe that the ID card is a piece of photographic paper with information printed on them seem to be. The ID card is used for the first time in a special software created to create maps of model identification. This software is used for everything from the bottom of the card is a photo identification card and appearance of creating.

Then a special printer to be used for the model were created in the software to print. Some companies have older printers and outdated technologies that are not printed, all elements of the map together. You first create a blank template of the card, then use it to add elements about it. This makes the integral parts of the map, as it does for companies with modern techniques.

These techniques allow every detail of the map, to become a part of it. Once this is completed, the process starts rolling, for a long service life. After the card is laminated, dirt and water can not be touched because it is not simply pull the cover. This is an excellent protection for those who are careless with them and end up throwing in the wrong places, which are susceptible to damage. The plastic cards that are not even half the life of the laminates, so the cost is worth it.

In addition to ID cards, access is also very popular among the high-security companies and institutions. These cards are used to ensure access to certain areas of the building, usually limited areas only employees. Access cards are thicker than identity cards, and usually worn around the neck with a lanyard. Most of them are not laminated, so that dirt can easily become a problem, but at least liquids seem to have a significant effect on an access card.

Companies to create the cards to create access cards as well as a rule, but it depends on the company. Companies in more ID cards would do well to interest, for companies that provide what you need, including access might look like.

Another solution would be to buy specialized equipment and to create the ID passed in the House, but not many companies are willing to do. The very concerned about security, but consider this to be superior to the only solution because it eliminates the risk of identity cards or models disappear from the corporate office building going on.

The holders of identification cards for employees are also a good investment because they increase the risk of employees who lose their ID card reduced. This is very common, and has a card holder is known to reduce the number of lost cards significantly, and although the initial investment may be higher, it will save you money in the end, do not force the company to replace the cards. A carrying strap is also a good option, even if they are used regularly for access cards, and some people do not love just the feeling of carrying a card attached to something around his neck. Anyone interested in their own ID cards are to remember that everything you need good ID card printer, some free time and a special software!
