D-Link DFE-550TX Adapter

Connecting for 100Mbps Fast Ethernet

Category 5 UTP cable is required for Fast Ethernet operation. The

maximum cable run between the DFE-550TX and the supporting

hub or switch is 100m. The cable must be straight-through (not a

crossover cable), with an RJ-45 plug at each end. Make the network

connection by plugging one end of the cable into the RJ-45 jack of

the DFE-550TX, and the other end into a normal (non-Uplink) port

on the supporting device.

Category 3, Category 4, and Category 5 UTP cable, as well as

EIA/TIA-568 100-ohm STP cable all meet Ethernet cabling

requirements. The maximum cable run between the DFE-550TX

and the supporting hub or switch is 100 meters. The cable must be

straight-through (not a crossover cable) with an RJ-45 connector at

each end. Make the network connection by plugging one end of the

cable into the RJ-45 jack of the DFE-550TX, and the other end into

a normal (non-Uplink) port on the supporting device.

Note: The DFE-550TX will use NWay to automatically detect

whether it is connected at 10Mbps or 100Mbps and configure itself

accordingly. The duplex mode will likewise be auto-negotiated by

NWay at the same time, allowing the host computer to be up and

running on the network as soon as possible with a minimum of

trouble.
