DFE-650TX
High-Performance Dual-Speed Adapter for
PCMCIA
- The D-Link DFE-650TX is a Dual Speed Ethernet/Fast Ethernet 10/100Mbps PCMCIA
card for notebook computers. It allows users to easily connect to a network and share
databases and resources in diverse environments. It is engineered to unleash the power of
today's notebooks and turn them into robust stations or servers.
NWAY Auto-negotiation
- The card's single connector connects to either 10Base-T Ethernet or 100Base-TX
Fast Ethernet completely without any need to set configuration. It detects the connected
hub's capability and auto-negotiates to use the highest available speed.
Full Duplex Support
- Full/half duplex operation is auto-detected in 10Base-T mode. In full duplex, the
notebook is connected to a switch in a dedicated segment. With transmission and reception
taking place simultaneously, data transfer is doubled. Mobile users can thus hook to a
network and turn their notebooks into power servers. The DFE-650TX does NOT support
100Mbps Full Duplex mode.
Snap-In Installation
- The card auto-detects IRQs and I/O addresses available in the notebook. Together
with the hot-swap support, this feature brings a lot fof convenience to DOS and Windows
users without Win 95 installed.
Complete Compatibility
- The card is compatible with all major notebook, sub-notebook and palmtop PCs,
supports the main Socket and Card Services and provides driver programs for all popular
networking operating systems.
Comprehensive Driver Support
- The card supports all major network operating systems, including NetWare, Windows
NT, Windows 95 and Unix.
