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.
