Network Control for Windows

“D-Link Network Control” is part of the Driver Installation Packages available for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. This program displays the current configuration and status of the DGE-550SX network adapter. Predominantly, it helps to perform the following tasks:

Configuration of the network adapters and their corresponding ports

Monitoring of the status of the network adapters installed

Establishment of Virtual LANs (VLANs)

Building of teams and enabling of link aggregation according to IEEE 802.3ad

To start the “D-Link Network Control” go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > D-Link Network Control. The various tabs contain trees showing the currently installed network adapters and their configuration:

The “Adapter” tab displays the network adapters available in your system with their corresponding ports. It also shows the ports which have been configured as VLANs. This tab only serves as an overview. For configuration, select one of the other tabs.

The “Virtual LAN” tab lists all configured VLANs along with the corresponding ports and the ports which may be bound by VLANs.

In this tab, you can add, remove, and configure VLANs, and set VLAN specific parameters.

The “Team” tab shows all links or ports which may be aggregated in a team or have already been aggregated to form a team.

In this tab, the user can add, remove, rename, and configure teams.

The “Power Management” tab shows the current power management settings of all installed network adapters.
