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 Options
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 (1) the traditional Remote Program Load (RPL) or
(2) 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.

Optical Fiber Fast Ethernet Card
The DFE-550FX is a high-performance Fast Ethernet card that connects your desktop PC to a reliable fiber network. The
card plugs into a PCI expansion slot inside your PC, transmits data at 100Mbps half duplex or 200Mbps full duplex.
Supporting advanced functions including traffic priority queues and VLAN, this card provides a secure environment to let
you run bandwidth-demanding applications, such as IP telephony and video conferencing.

Reliable Fiber Connection
The DFE-550FX 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-
magnatic 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.
