PRODUCT INFO

The DGE-528T features onboard screening of 802.1Q VLAN Tagged Ethernet frames, allowing you to assign multiple subnets to each server and isolate devices within each VLAN from the rest of the network for better traffic control and security. It also supports 802.1p Priority Tagging to allow you to prioritise traffic. Support for TCP, UDP, and IP checksum calculation as well as TCP Segmentation improves overall system performance by shifting CPU-intensive tasks away from the host CPU and onto the DGE-528T itself. Support for advanced features such as 802.3x flow control and Jumbo Frames for network management ensures interoperability with your current networking equipment.

Wake-On-LAN for Power Management

Wake-On-LAN (WOL) is an Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) function allowing a powered OFF computer to be powered ON from a remote station. This function allows the administrator to send wake-up signals to a computer. The WOL function provides a great utility for power management of the PC and allows users to initiate action at irregular times and from distant locations.

Flow Control to Minimize Packet Loss

The card's embedded flow control and independent FIFO provide a means to protect against possible data loss during transmission on the network. When connected to a Gigabit switch supporting 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.

Remote Management

The DGE-528T includes additional advanced features such as Advanced Power Management and Wake-on-LAN support. It also supports remote network boot using both PXE and RPL, allowing network administrators to boot the PC from anywhere on the network.

Versatility

The DGE-528T supports all major operating systems, guaranteeing compatibility with existing workstation and desktop environments. Its half-height form factor allows it to be used in low-profile cases for compact PCs. The card also has a diagnostic utility tool, simplifying troubleshooting.
