If you have two adapters that are both connected to the same network (or the internet), remember that the computer only uses one at a given time. Connectivity indicates if the current network connection allows for access to the internet or not.(You can always Google the device name to find out detailed specs.) For a Wi-Fi adapter, this will likely show the Wi-Fi standard, be it the latest 802.11ac or a legacy standard such as 802.11n. For wired connection, if you see the word "gigabit" or "GbE" in the device name, the adapter is gigabit-capable, meaning it can deliver up to 1,000Mbps. It often also indicates the type of adapter it is. Device Name shows more than just the name of the network adapter.When connected, it shows the name of the current network. Right-clicking on one will give you the option to disable or enable it. Status indicates if the item is disabled or enabled, connected to a network or not, etc.You can right-click on an item and rename it whatever you want. Name is just the name of a connection.Now your adapters will appear with in a more detailed view with a few important columns including: Right-click on an empty space within this Network Connections window, select View, then Details. In this tip, though, we focus on the Ethernet and Wi-Fi.Ģ.

Keysight generated revenues of $4.2B in fiscal year 2020. Our customers span the worldwide communications and industrial ecosystems, aerospace and defense, automotive, energy, semiconductor and general electronics markets.
Keysight’s dedication to speed and precision extends to software-driven insights and analytics that bring tomorrow’s technology products to market faster across the development lifecycle, in design simulation, prototype validation, automated software testing, manufacturing analysis, and network performance optimization and visibility in enterprise, service provider and cloud environments. Keysight delivers advanced design and validation solutions that help accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world. The performance of this AEC is not only enabling next generation hypsercale data center implementations, but is also a valued component of the infrastructure making those implementations possible.” "It is very exciting to see Keysight leverage our HiWire LP CLOS AEC 800 in their 800GE test and validation platform.
"Keysight's G800GE test system with 400GE/200GE/100GE per port fan-outs meets the performance and verification needs of 800GE interconnect and infrastructure," said Don Barnetson, vice president of product at Credo. "The unique combination of the Keysight G800GE test system and Credo's 800GE AEC technology addresses the interoperability challenges and enables the data center community to accelerate validation of 800GE devices and network infrastructure.” "The move to 800GE presents DCOs and vendors in the supply chain with new challenges to validate chips, optical transceivers, or networking equipment port electronics,” said Ram Periakaruppan, vice president and general manager, Keysight's Network Test and Security Solutions group. Long reach capabilities are essential to connect the data center servers to a top of rack (ToR) switch. The AECs are key to ensuring signal integrity for copper cabling lengths greater than two meters. The 800GE testing equipment is comprised of Keysight's G800GE Forward Error Correction- (FEC) Aware and Compliance test system using Credo’s Active Electrical Cable (AEC) connectivity solution. This new environment produces unique challenges in which all network points must be tested, including 800GE capable port devices and interconnect. As switching capacity increases, the physical interconnect links need to scale to 112G electrical lane signaling.
(NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology company that delivers advanced design and validation solutions to help accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced the company has collaborated with Credo to enable data center operators (DCOs) and the respective supply chain to validate the readiness of data center equipment in complex 800 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) environments.ĭCOs are moving towards 800GE to accelerate the upgrade cycle of switching silicon.
