D-Link PCI 10/100/1000MBPS ADAPTER
Item#: DGE-550T
 |
|
MODEL- DGE-550T VENDOR- D-LINK
FEATURES- PCI Gigabit LAN Adapter
The DGE-550T is a 32/64-bit PCI 100/1000Mbps NWay Gigabit LAN
adapter. The DGE-550T provides extremely fast data transfer rates up
to 2000Mbps at full duplex mode for high bandwidth usage in areas
such as network servers, workstations, Storage Area Networks (SANs),
Network Attach Storage (NAS) and high-speed video streaming.
The DFE-550T adheres to IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3ab, which specify
100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Ethernet technologies. The DFE-550T also
supports both Half and Full Duplex operations at 100/200 Mbps data
speeds used in conjunction with 802.3x flow control. With the auto-
negotiation support, connection speed is negotiated at the highest
speed to a compliant switch.
Through the aid of a VLAN membership, the DGE-550T adheres to the
802.1Q for multiple VLAN support, and 802.1P for packet
prioritization. With 802.1Q support, server resources can be shared
with multiple VLANs when used in conjunction with any 802.1Q-enabled
switch. With the 802.1p support, the DGE-550T allows a range of
Ethernet packets to be prioritized from a critical to a non-critical
designation through a priority tag.
The DGE-550T supports Full Duplex operations at 200/2000Mbps data
speeds used in conjunction with 802.3x flow control support. With
802.3x flow control; the DGE-550T uses both asymmetric and symmetric
functions via the MAC control pause function. Any participating
802.3x flow control node can be controlled by initiating a pause
control to stop incoming network traffic, to further reduce network
congestion.
By default the DGE-550T supports the standard 1518 Byte frame size.
In addition, the DGE-550T can also be configured to use a maximum
Jumbo frame size of up to 9000Bytes. The DGE-550T's Jumbo frame
support provides the ability to reduce system-level packet
processing overhead by one third than that required to process
standard frame sizes.
Also, being PCI 2.2 compliant, the DGE-550T works with 33 Mhz/32 bit
or 66Mhz/64 bit PCI busses. This compatibility provides users with
an easy migration path to increase performance between servers and
workstations for large file transfer, video editing and server
clustering for data intensive applications.
