Details
D-Link's DFE-530TX Fast Ethernet adapter is a
high-performance auto-sensing 10/100Mbps dual-speed adapter for the
PCI bus. This adapter turns a desktop into a high-bandwidth
graphic/multimedia workstation or a power server running at
full-duplex speed. The adapter operates in the 32-bit Bus Master
mode, delivering throughputs at multi-megabits per second with
little stress on the host's CPU. Supporting PCI clock speeds
independently of the network clock, it transfers data directly
to/from the host's memory, by-passing the CPU to alleviate the
host's workload. The adapter allows users to migrate from Ethernet
to Fast Ethernet in easy steps. 10BASE-T users can upgrade to
100BASE-TX anytime without changing driver software or network
cables. Network administrators can install optional boot ROMs on
the adapters to implement network security. Diskless workstations
equipped with these ROMs can remote boot from NetWare or Windows NT
servers and access authorized data. The adapter's single connector
connects to either 10BASE-T Ethernet or 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet
completely without any need to set configuration. It detects the
connected hub's or switch's capability and auto-negotiates to use
the highest available speed. Full/half duplex operation is
auto-detected in both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX modes. When connected
to a switch in full duplex, the network speed can be increased to
200Mbps, making the adapter an ideal NIC for high-speed server
deployment.
