D F E - 5 5 0 T X U t i l i zes Plug-&-Play w/single RJ-45 connector for easy installat i o n 10/100Mb PCI Ethernet Adapter with Wa k e - o n - L A N The D-Link DFE-550TX is a manageable 10/100MB Dual Speed Ethernet PCI Network Interface Card with Wa ke - O n - L A N ( WOL). The DFE-550TX provides an industry standard interfa c e for a desktop computer to access an Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Dual Speed Network. The DFE-550TX is fully compliant with IEEE802.3 10Base-T, IEEE 802.3u 100Base-T specifications as well as IEEE 802.3x DFE-550TX is D-Link’s DL10050B chipset which implements several advanced features. Aside from the AC P I / WOL (Advanced Configuration Power Management I n t e r face) feature, the DFE-550TX implements IP Multicast p a c ket filtering, PXE (PreBoot execution Environment) Boot ROM, IEEE 802.1p, IEEE 802.1Q, and DMI (Desktop Management Interfa c e ) . For standard network functions, the DFE-550TX utilizes plug- and-play feature for easy installation. The DFE-550TX’s single RJ-45 connector automatically negotiates to the highest speed at half or full duplex using industry standard NWay auto-neg o t i a t i o n . With the PCI 32-bit data bus, the DFE-550TX delivers high throughput without using on board memory. Integrated 2Kbyte RxFIFO and 2Kbyte TxFIFO cache bu ffers synchronize transmissions and bu ffer data to help prevent packet loss. T h e D F E - 5 5 0 T X ’s compliance to PCI 2.2 Bus Specification along with its integrated FIFO bu ffers lower overall CPU utilization. Furthermore, the DFE-550TX uses chip-level address fi l t e r i n g when implementing IP Multicasting. By examining multicast p a c kets, the DFE-550TX conserves CPU utilization while accepting only the packets intended for the host’s Multicast group. The DFE-550TX’s compliance to IEEE 802.1p Priority Ta g g i n g ensures that time-critical data arrives on time by using tagging to d e fine the data packe t ’s priority. Whereas, compliance to IEEE 802.1Q improve network performance and security by limiting broadcast and unicast (node to node) traffic within a single V L A N . The value-added management features offered by DMI allow remote troubleshooting and higher quality management of computers equipped with the DFE-550TX. Finally, the DFE- 550TX support for PXE Boot ROM as well as RPL (Remote Program Load) enhances the manageability of the client computer.
