D-Link DFE-551FX Datenbogen
The DFE-551FX Optical Fiber Fast Ethernet Adapter
connects your desktop PC to a reliable fiber network.
The card plugs into a PCI expansion slot inside your
PC, transmits data at 200Mbps full duplex. Supporting
advanced functions including traffic priority queues and
VLAN, this adapter provides a secure environment to let
you run bandwidth-demanding applications, such as IP
telephony and video conferencing.
Reliable Fiber Connection
The DFE-551FX card allows you to establish secure
fiber link for your PC. It can be used to set up a power
workstation or a server with a direct fiber connection to a
Fast Ethernet switch. Capable of running at 200Mbps full-
duplex, this card serves well in a high electro-magnetic
interference environment, providing a cable distance of
up to 2 km to the switch.
Wake-On-LAN Power Management
The card supports Advanced Configuration Power
Interface (ACPI) Wake-On-LAN (WOL), allows your
computer to be powered ON/OFF from a remote place.
Providing a great utility for power management of the PC,
this function allows the administrator to send a wake-up
signal to the computer to initiate action at irregular times
and from distant locations.
High Performance
With 32-bit bus master operation, the card guarantees the
highest performance. Bus master transfers data directly
between the card and the host at multi-megabits per
second, bypass the host CPU to alleviate its workload.
Flow Control to Minimize Packet Loss
The card’s embedded flow control provides a means to
protect against possible data loss during transmission on
the network. When connected to a Fast Ethernet switch
that supports flow control, the card receives signals from
the switch regarding buffer overrun during peak usage
periods. The card then delays transmission until the switch
is ready again to accept new data.
VLAN to Improve Performance and Security
The card supports IEEE 802.1Q multiple Virtual LAN,
allowing you to segment the network to smaller domains
to improve performance and security. Dissemination
of broadcast and unnecessary computer-to-computer
packets can be restricted to reduce extraneous traffic.
The card provides a VLAN table for the following functions:
filtering packets by recognizing VLAN Tags, stripping VLAN
Tags on receive, and inserting VLAN Tags on transmit.
IEEE 802.1p Priority Queues Support
With packet prioritization capability, the card allows traffic
to be queued as critical and non-critical, permitting your
computer to run voice over IP, video-conference and
multimedia applications where packets are delivered at
best-effort speeds.
RPL and PXE Remote Boot Optionst
2 remote boot options are available for selection.
Administrators can choose to set up a security scheme
for diskless workstations to boot from servers using the
traditional Remote Program Load (RPL) or Intel’s Pre-
boot Execution Environment (PXE). Stations with boot
ROMs installed on the on-board socket can boot O.S.
from NetWare, NT and other servers to run applications
designated by the administrator.
