Introduction

Thank you for choosing D-Link DFE-690TXD, the value leader among

Ethernet/Fast Ethernet adapters for notebook PCs. This chapter provides a

general description of DFE-690TXD features, with a summary of features at

the end of the chapter. Installation instructions are given in Chapters 2 and 3.

The D-Link DFE-690TXD Cardbus PC Card for notebook PCs is a credit-card

sized Ethernet / Fast-Ethernet adapter for connecting a notebook PC to an

Ethernet network. The notebook PC must be equipped with a Type II Cardbus

compliant slot.

NOTE: The terms "PC Card" is used throughout this manual to refer to those

objects as defined in the PCMCIA / PC Card standards published by Personal

Computer Memory Card Industry Association (PCMCIA). The term "slot," as

used in this manual, is synonymous with "socket" where the standards use the

latter term in reference to the physical receptacles of a host notebook

computer, for insertion/connection of PC Cards. More information on the

standards is available from PCMCIA's www server at http://www.pc-card.com.

The D-Link DFE-690TXD automatically detects the parameters of its Ethernet

environment, and automatically negotiates and determines its own speed and

duplex settings as required for maximum performance within the environment.

(The auto-negotiation function is effective only when the DFE-690TXD is

connected to the network by a device (switch or hub) which also has auto-

negotiation functionality.)
