D-Link DFE-538TX — оптимизация сетевых адаптеров для повышения производительности [8/64]

Превью страниц Страница 8 / 64

If the switch does not support auto-negotiation, the (single capability)

message will be recognized by the DFE-538TX auto-negotiation facility,

which will switch to those settings of its own capabilities, which match that of

the switch.

Auto-negotiation reoccurs any time the linkage is restored, making the line

ready again for optimal data communications.

About PCI Bus

Your DFE-538TX Adapter delivers outstanding performance by fully

exploiting the advance features of your computer’s PCI bus. DFE-538TX

Adapters utilize the Bus Master Mode of the PCI bus, allowing direct

transfers of Ethernet packet content between computer memory and the

adapter’s controller, thus minimizing network demands on the CPU. The

adapter’s controller function provides the additional benefit of reduced

command processing overhead.

The working relationship between a DFE-538TX adapter and main memory

working in Bus Master mode is powered by the Bridge/Memory Controller of

the PCI bus. This reduces the CPU role in network operations, thus freeing

the CPU to service other tasks, with resulting improvement in overall

computing (multitasking) performance. At the same time, it produces

superior network throughput by reducing latency (waiting for CPU service)

during transmissions and receptions.

Features

Wake On LAN

Wake On LAN (WOL) is an ACPI function allowing a powered down (sleeping)

computer to be powered ON from a remote station. To use the WOL feature, the

NIC must be WOL capable and the motherboard of the PC must be ACPI compliant.

While powered-down computers Sleep, WOL enabled NICs monitor LAN traffic
