Introduction
Thank you for choosing D-Link DFE-650, the value leader among
PC-Card Fast Ethernet adapters. This chapter provides a general
description of DFE-650 Series features, with a summary of features
at the end of the chapter‘ Installation instructions are given in
Chapter 2.
General Description
The D-Link DFE-650 Series Fast Ethernet PC Card is a credit-card
sized Fast-Ethemet adapter for connecting a notebook PC to an IEEE
802.3 or 802.3u Ethernet network. The notebook PC must be
equipped with a Type II or Type III PC Card slot‘
NOTE: The terms ”PC Card" and "PC Card slot" are used
throughout this manual to refer to those objects as defined
in the Personal Computer Memory Card Industry Associa-
tion (PCMCIA) standards
The DFE-650 automatically detects the parameters of its Ethernet
environment, and automatically negotiates and determines its own
speed and duplex settings as required for maximum performance in
its environment.
Inside its compact PC-Card package, the D-Link DFE—650 holds an
Ethernet controller, network processing interface, 64 Kb RAM data
buffer, a 68-pin PC Card Standard front-end plug which connects to
the notebook PC, and a 15-pin back-end receptacle for connecting
DFE-650 Series Fast Ethernet PC Card User’s Guide
the media coupler. The DFE—650 requires no pre-installation setup ~
— simply insert its front end into the notebook PC's PC-Card slot.
The DFE—650 is supplied with a media coupler which plugs into the
back end (IS-pin receptacle) ofthe DFE—650. The other end ofthe
media coupler has an RJ-45 receptacle which receives the network
cable. The media coupler features LED indications for linkage an
activity states, and for the speed and duplex settings. -
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 IOOMbps (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 specifies three subtypes, corresponding
to three media types:
lOOBase-TX (using two twisted pairs in EIA 568 Category 5
UTP or STP cable)
lOOBase-T4 (using four twisted pairs in a Category 3,
Category 4, or Category 5 UTP cable)
lOOBase-FX (using two fiber-optic strands)
D-Link DFE-650 Series Fast Ethernet PC Cards offer half-duplex
lOOBase-TX operation (in Category 5 twisted-pair cable
environments), These products do not support lOOBase-T4 or
lOOBase-FX operation. To provide for traditional 10Mbps Ethernet
operation in twisted-pair cable environments, the DFE-650 series
also offers 10Mbps Ethernet operation, in full—duplex and half-

LED Indicators
The media coupler features three LED indicators:
1. 10/100 Indicator
Steady green indicates Fast Ethernet selected.
Dark indicates IOMbps Ethernet selected.
2. Half [Full Indicator
Steady green indicates Full-Duplex selected.
Dark indicates Half-Duplex selected.
3. Ln/Act Indicator
Steady green indicates that there is good linkage to the network
("Linkage" state, quiescent).
Flashing green indicates that the DFE—650 is transmitting or
receiving ("Activity" state). In 10Mbps mode, flashing will be
regular and periodic. In 100Mbps mode, flashing may be
irregular, with longer dark periods during heavy traffic activity.

Hardware Installation
Unpack and Inspect
NOTE: Under ordinary circumstances, the DFE-650 Series Fast
Ethernet PC Card will not be affected by static charge as
may be received through your body during handling of the
unit. In special circum~stances where you may cany an
extraordinarily high static charge, it is good practice to
reduce the charge by touching a ground before handling the
DFE—650.
Open the shipping carton and carefully remove all items. In addition
to this User's Guide, ascertain that you have:
0 One DFE-650 Series Fast Ethernet PC Card
0 One plastic storage bag for the PC Card
0 One media coupler

Hardware Installation
Follow these four steps to install the DFE-650 :
Step 1 Insert the DFE-650
Under the PCMCIA standard and the corresponding Japanese JEIDA
standard, PC Cards may safely be "hot swapped" —— it is not
necessary to switch the computer's power off before installing or
removing the DFE-650, or any other PC Card.
Find/select an open Type II or Type III PC Card slot on your
notebook computer's side or rear panel. Hold the OPE-650 with the
colorful D-Link splash label upward. Notice that the splash label
features a yellow triangle or "arrow," which points to the front end
of the PC Card. Insert the front end of the PC Card into the PC Card
slot, and slide the PC Card all the way into the slot until it reaches a
firm stop.

NOTE: Many notebook PCs feature a stacked pair of PC card slots,
logically (but not physically) designated as Slot 1 and Slot 2.
Hardware Installation 9
DFE-650 Sen‘es Fast Ethernet PC Card User's Guide
It is most usual for the lower one of the two slots in the stack
to be designated Slot 1, but there are exceptions, In the
subsequent procedure for DFE—650 software installation, it
may be necessary for you to know whether your DFE-65O is
installed in Slot 1 or Slot 2. Under VWndows 95, you can
check by opening the Control Panel / PC Card displays
Under DOS it is also possible to make a software check, but
it is more difficult. If you are unable to determine the DFE-
650’s slot number in advance, then you can make a trial-
and-error determination later, according to instructions given
in the Software Installation section of this chapter.
Step 2 Attach the Media Coupler
The back-end receptacle of the DFE-650 remains accessible
(approximately flush with the case of the computer) when the DFE-
650 is properly seated in its PC Card slot‘ Taking care to keep the
top side of the media coupler plug up, insert the plug into the DFE-
650's receptacle until it is firmly seated and latched (The top side of
the plug is labeled with a triangle molded into the plastic)
Keep the triangle mark on
top when you plug the media
coupler into the DFE-GSO
NOTE: When the media coupler plug is firmly seated, it is held in
place by small latching books at either side of the plug. To
avoid damage when detaching the plug from the DFE-650, it
DFE-650 Sen‘es Fast Ethernet PC Card User’s Guide
is necessary to depress the latch wings of the plug See the
following section, "Remove Ethernet PC Card. "
Step 3 Connect to the Network Medium
Make the network connection by running a UTP cable from the
supporting hub to your media coupler. Simply plug one end (RJ-45
connector) of the cable into an available hub port, and plug the other
end (RJ-45 connector) intothe RJ-45 socket of the media coupler.

When the notebook computer's power is ON, the DFE-650 is firmly
seated in the slot connector, the media adapter plug is firmly
engaged (and latched) in the back-end receptacle of the DFE—650,
