D-Link DFE-550TX Adapter Introduction Thank you for choosing the D-Link DFE-550TX - the value leader among Fast Ethernet adapters for the PCI-Bus. This introduction gives a general description of the newer networking technologies found on the DFE-550TX. ACPI Power Management The DFE-550TX adapter complies with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface 1.0 (ACPI) specifications.
D-Link DFE-550TX Adapter • Forgot a document and out of town? Send a Wake-up signal to your computer and retrieve the needed file. • Initiate long routines and reports before you get to work. • Transfer files when the network traffic is low (during late hours). • Power ON your PC before you arrive to work. • The MIS department can upgrade software on computers after hours from a remote station. WOL is very helpful in limiting the power consumption of PCs, workstations, and kiosks.
D-Link DFE-550TX Adapter because broadcast packets reach every terminal on the network, creating undue traffic and occupying CPU time on all computers. IP Multicasting is a much better way to send data to groups, especially since routers and even switches can filter packets so they only reach those stations that are part of the group.
D-Link DFE-550TX Adapter IEEE802.1p Priority Tagging With the growing number of network applications, local area networks (LANs) must deliver data for a wide variety applications. Email, file transfers, database queries, voice over IP (VoIP), video-conferencing and multimedia must all be delivered to the end-user’s.
D-Link DFE-550TX Adapter system. Product Features Designed for high performance and versatility, the DFE-550TX Adapter provides the following features: • Plug and Play installation. • Complies with the IEEE 802.3 10Base-T and 802.3u 100Base-TX Ethernet standards. • RJ-45 connector for standard network cable connection. • 100Mbps Fast Ethernet or 10Mbps Ethernet data transfer rates, automatically configured by NWay auto-negotiation. • Full duplex or half-duplex operation, also NWay configured.
D-Link DFE-550TX Adapter Installation Installation of the DFE-550TX 10/100 NWay Ethernet Adapter requires installing the hardware first. Once the interface card has been installed into the host computer, the software can be installed. Unpacking CAUTION: Under ordinary circumstances, a DFE-550TX interface card will not be affected by static electricity. However, it is good practice to eliminate static charges by touching a sizable metal object before handling the adapter card.
D-Link DFE-550TX Adapter will destroy the Boot ROM Chip! 3. Firmly insert the contact edge of the DFE-550TX card into any available PCI Bus expansion slot. 4. Install the bracket screw to secure the card to the computer chassis. 5. At this point, refer to section Connecting the WOL Cable to install the WOL Cable between the NIC and the PC motherboard. 6. Replace the computer cover. 7. Reconnect the computer power cord, and switch the computer power on.
D-Link DFE-550TX Adapter the WOL cable. 1. Connect either end connector of the WOL Cable to the NIC WOL Connector. Both ends of the WOL Cable are identical, so either end may be used. 2. Examine the PC motherboard and/or refer to the manual for the motherboard to locate the corresponding WOL Connector on the motherboard. The actual location is system dependent, but the motherboard may have a label beside the WOL Connector. After you have located the WOL connector on the motherboard, connect the cable.
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 straightthrough (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.
D-Link DFE-550TX Adapter Software Installation On account of the great variety of network environments in which the DFE-550TX may be used, the instructions for software installation are given as README files on the DFE550TX Software CD-ROM. Review the root directory and locate the subdirectory containing the appropriate software for use with your network operating system. Access the README file for overview information.
D-Link DFE-550TX Adapter steps: Adapter Function Test 1. Insert the DFE-550TX Software CD-ROM in an available drive (here shown as CD-ROM drive ). At the DOS prompt (here shown as >), key in: DIAG.EXE and . The opening screen of the Verification/ Diagnostic program will appear. NOTE: 2. 3. Read the README.TXT, on the CD-ROM, to choose the appropriate diagnostic program for your operating system. Review the reported configuration data before proceeding to Step 3.
D-Link DFE-550TX Adapter Network Operation Test 4. If you have access to a second station on the LAN, then skip ahead to Step 5. If you do not have access to a second station on the LAN, then the network test will be limited to blind transmission of test packets (none of which will be returned to the primary station). Follow the cues at the foot of the screen to select and run the Network Diagnostic program. Observe the Packets Sent line to see a steadily and rapidly increasing packet count.
D-Link DFE-550TX Adapter Troubleshooting If you experience any problems with the adapter, first verify that the appropriate driver is loaded, that the proper grade of cable is employed for the network connection, and that the supporting hub is functioning properly. 1. Ascertain that the adapter card is fully and firmly seated in the slot connector. 2. Check the length and rating of connecting cables. 3. Ascertain that the adapter PCI slot is not deactivated at the BIOS level.
