(Applicable to BurnInTest Pro version only) Select network card(s) to test This list will show the IP of up to 10 network cards that are installed on the system and plugged in. The values in the fields below are saved for each network card and can be different for each card.

Test On/Off

Check this box the enable testing for the selected IP.

Test mode

Full duplex – will send and receive data during the test.

Half duplex – will only send data during the test.

Transfer settings

Data Validation – if this is checked then the data sent during the test will be validated , this may slow down the testing due to the CPU overhead of validation.

Port Number (data) – This is the starting port number that is used when sending data during the test, as the testing progresses more then one port may be in use by each network card. Unless it conflicts with other services in use this should be left at the default value.

Block Size (bytes) – This value is buffer size used when breaking the file into packets and sending it across the network.

Target NIC load (%) – This is the required load placed on the network card during testing, the test will be throttled to maintain the necessary amount of data being sent through the network card. For example, a load of 15% for a 1000 megabit (1 gigabit) network card will be a transfer rate around 17 MB/s. Note: If this setting is high, the system may not be able to generate sufficient traffic to meet this load requirement.
