[. . . ] Model DFE-550TX Ethernet / Fast Ethernet Adapter for PCI Bus with WOL User's Guide Rev. 03 July, 2000 6DFE550TX. 03 Printed in Taiwan RECYCLABLE D-Link DFE-550TX Ethernet Adapter Wichtige Sicherheitshinweise 1. Um eine Beschädigung des Gerätes zu vermeiden sollten Sie nur Zubehörteile verwenden, die vom Hersteller zugelassen sind. Verwenden Sie nur sichere Standorte und beachten Sie die Aufstellhinweise des Herstellers. [. . . ] DMI lowers the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by providing a common framework for managing desktop systems, mobile systems and servers. DMI supports a management schema (Management Information Format [MIF]), allowing manageable components to be described within various platforms in a standard descriptive language. MIFs are extensible, allowing the DFE-550TX to export value-added management capabilities. These value-added management features enable remote troubleshooting and higher quality management of computer resources. IEEE802. 1p Priority Tagging With the growing number of network applications, local area networks (LANs) must deliver data for a wide variety applications. Email, file transfers, database queries, voice over IP (VoIP), video-conferencing and multimedia must all be delivered to the end-user's. Some of the traffic, such as video-conferencing, is of a higher priority, with a slight delay of packets resulting in noticeable degeneration of video and audio quality, while other traffic, such as email will not be noticeably affected by tiny delays. The large number of programs run over today's networks serves to impede the ability to deliver time-critical data. Even if bandwidth is not usually a problem on your network, during peak hours bursts in network traffic can result in the delay of time-critical traffic. IEEE802. 1p defines seven levels of prioritization for Ethernet packets. High priority packets will be sent through a network using 801. 2p-compliant switches first. Lower priority packets will be transferred whenever bandwidth is available. When properly setup, this ensures that time-critical data arrives on time and is not affected by other traffic. IEEE802. 1Q VLANs The IEEE802. 1Q VLAN can help improve network performance and security by segmenting the network into VLANs. IEEE802. 1Q VLANs can limit broadcast and node-to-node (unicast) traffic to a single VLAN. This limits the effects of broadcast storms and provides additional security for your network. To set up GVRP VLANs, which support dynamic registration, the adapter should be connected to a switch with GVRP VLAN capability. For VLANs to function, the computer in which this NIC is installed must be using Windows 95 or later as its operating system. 2 D-Link DFE-550TX Ethernet Adapter Traffic Management Statistics The DFE-550TX incorporates sixteen packet counters that can be used by network management applications. This is far greater than the three mandatory counters implemented by most other network interface cards. The large number of counters on the DFE-550TX allows network management applications to provide accurate and detailed statistics on a wide range of network attributes.

The CMOS Setup utility in PCI computers ordinarily provides the option to activate or deactivate PCI slots. Replace the adapter in question with a verified adapter and run NIC (software) diagnostic tests. Install the questioned adapter in another PCI computer and run the tests again. [. . . ]
