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. General Description 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 netwo

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 autonegotiation function is effective only when the DFE-690TXD is connected to the network by a device (switch or hub) which also has autonegotiation functionality.) Inside its compact case, the D-Link DFE-690TXD holds an Ethernet controller, network processing

About Fast Ethernet Fast Ethernet is a network technology specified by IEEE Standard 802.3u. It extends the traditional 10Mbps (10 megabit/sec) Ethernet technology to achieve 100Mbps (100 megabit/sec) transmission and reception. Because Fast Ethernet retains the traditional Ethernet CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense, Multiple Access, Collision Detect) protocol, it remains wholly compatible with 10Mbps Ethernet while providing a tenfold increase in network capacity. The Fast Ethernet standard specif

About Autonegotiation The basic idea of auto-negotiation can be understood by reflecting for a moment on the familiar process of making a dialup connection between two modems. You have probably heard some exchanges between your local modem and a modem at the other end of a telephone line. (These exchanges are ordinarily played out through a speaker in your local modem). As irritating as those few seconds of noise may be, they do let you know that your modem and the remote modem are on the

concept, but much briefer. The two devices involved in the autonegotiation will be your DFE-690TXD and the switch or hub through which it is connected into the LAN. (Switches ordinarily provide for autonegotiation; traditional hubs do not.) The parameters to be negotiated between the DFE-690TXD and its supporting switch or hub include speed (100Mbps = Fast Ethernet, or 10Mbps = traditional Ethernet) and duplex mode (half-duplex or full-duplex). Startup communication between the two device

supporting device. Once the auto-negotiation is completed, the line is ready, and it will provide an optimal data channel between the DFE-690TXD and the supporting device. The line will remain ready without further auto- negotiation action until the link is broken. Auto-negotiation then reoccurs at any time that the link is restored, again making the line ready for optimal data communications. 7

Troubleshooting Confirming the Connection (LED Indicator) When the notebook computer is powered “ON,” and the DFE- 690TXD is inserted into an open slot connector, please check the following items if your LED light is not “ON.” When all items are working, your DFE-690TXD’s direct port LED light should light up green (“Link” state.) 1. Make sure that your Ethernet Cat5 cable is in good working order. 2. Make sure that your hub or switch is powered “ON” and functioning properly. 3. If th

Troubleshooting the Hardware Installation If you experience any problems with the hardware installation, first ascertain that all network cable connections are firm, that the proper grade of cable is used for the network connection, and that the cable makeup is correct (straight –– without un-needed crossovers in the connector wiring). Check that the supporting hub is powered-on and operating normally, and that the hub is properly qualified (under 10Base- T and/or 100Base-TX standards). V

Pinging your DFE-690TXD Card Follow these steps to Ping a device: Ping is the acronym for Packet Internet Groper (PING), a utility to determine if a specific IP address is accessible. It works by sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply. Ping is primarily used to troubleshoot Internet connections. By sending out a ping, you are verifying that a specific computer is available. Since all computers on the network must have a unique IP address, getting a reply means t
