  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction The D-Link DGE-528T is ideal for the small office or home office environment. After completing the steps in this manual, you will have the ability to share information and resources - such as files and printers - and take full advantage of a “connected” environment for work and play! The DGE-528T comes with drivers for the most popular operating systems and can be integrated into a larger network.

  • Page 5: About Auto-Negotiation

    Your DGE-528T Adapter delivers outstanding performance by fully exploiting the advance features of your computer’s PCI bus. DGE-528T 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.

  • Page 6: Wake On Lan

    The working relationship between a DGE-528T 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.

  • Page 7: Flow Control

    When operating at full-duplex (requiring a direct connection to a switch) and the switch’s data buffer is about to overflow, a Pause frame will be transmitted to the DGE-528T. The ensuing idle time keeps the buffer from overflowing and prevents data from being lost. This enhancement can improve network throughput, avoid collisions and prevent lost data, helping the network achieve optimal performance.
