D-Link DGE-660TD User Manual - Product Overview
D-Link DGE-660TD User Manual
Thank you for choosing the D-Link DGE-660TD, the value leader among Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet adapters for notebook PCs.
This chapter provides a general description of DGE-660TD features, with a summary of features at the end of the chapter. Installation
instructions are provided in sections 2 and 3.
The D-Link DGE-660TD Gigabit Cardbus PC Card for notebook PCs is a credit-card sized Gigabit adapter for connecting a notebook PC
to an Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit network. The notebook PC must be equipped with a Type II Cardbus compliant slot.
NOTE: The terms “PC Card” is used throughout this manual to refer to those objects as defined in the PCMCIA / PC Card standards
published by Personal Computer Memory Card Industry Association (PCMCIA). The term “slot,” as used in this manual, is synonymous
with “socket” where the standards use the latter term in reference to the physical receptacles of a host notebook computer, for insertion/
connection of PC Cards. More information on the standards is available from PCMCIA’s www server at http://www.pc-card.com.
The D-Link DGE-660TD 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 auto-negotiation function is effective
only when the DGE-660TD is connected to the network by a device (switch or hub) that also has autonegotiation functionality.)
Inside its compact case, the D-Link DGE-660TD holds an Ethernet controller, network processing interface, a 68-pin PC Card Standard
front-end plug, which connects to the notebook PC, and a direct port for connecting a RJ-45 network cable. The DGE-660TD requires no
pre-installation setup -- simply insert its front end into the notebook PC’s PC-Card slot.
The DGE-660TD is supplied with an RJ-45 receptacle, which receives the network cable. The direct port features full LED display for
linkage and activity states, speed, transmitting and receiving data, and carrier detection.
