Introduction
Thank you for choosing D-Link DFE-690TXD, the value leader among
Ethernet/Fast Ethernet adapters for notebook PCs. This chapter provides
a general description of DFE-690TXD features, with a summary of
features at the end of the chapter. Installation instructions are given in
Chapters 2 and 3.
General Description
The D-Link DFE-690TXD Cardbus PC Card for notebook PCs is a
credit-card sized Ethernet / Fast-Ethernet adapter for connecting a
notebook PC to an Ethernet network. The notebook PC must be equipped
with either a PCMCIA (16 bit) extension bus or it must be Type II
Cardbus slot(s) compliant.
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

The D-Link DFE-690TXD 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 autonegotiation function is effective only
when the DFE-690TXD is connected to the network by a device (switch
or hub) which also has autonegotiation functionality.)
Inside its compact case, the D-Link DFE-690TXD 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 RJ-45. The DFE-690TXD requires no pre-installation setup --
simply insert its front end into the notebook PC's PC-Card slot.
The DFE-690TXD is supplied with an RJ-45 receptacle, which receives
the network cable. The direct port features full LED display for
Link/ACT and speed.

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 100Mbps (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:
·
·
·
100Base-TX (using two twisted pairs in EIA 568 Category 5 UTP or
STP cable)
100Base-T4 (using four twisted pairs in a Category 3, Category 4, or
Category 5 UTP cable)
100Base-FX (using two fiber-optic strands).
The DFE-690TXD provides full-duplex and half-duplex 100Base-TX
operation (in Category 5 twisted-pair cable environments). It does not
provide 100Base-T4 or 100Base-FX operation. To provide for traditional
10Mbps Ethernet operation in twisted-pair cable environments, the DFE-
690TXD also offers 10Mbps Ethernet operation, in full-duplex and half-
duplex modes. The DFE-690TXD's autonegotiation capability provides
for automatic selection of the best operation mode.

About Autonegotiation
The basic idea of auto-negotiation can be understood by reflecting for a
moment on the familiar process of making a dialup connection between
two modems. You have probably heard some exchanges between your
local modem and a modem at the other end of a telephone line. (These
exchanges are ordinarily played out through a speaker in your local
modem). As irritating as those few seconds of noise may be, they do let
you know that your modem and the remote modem are on the job,
preparing for your intended communication with the remote computer.
The preparatory work of the two modems during those few seconds
before you see the “connect” message is to negotiate the best data
communication scheme which is supported by both modems, and which
is suitable for the quality of the telephone-line connection between them.
The parameters to be settled between the two modems include best baud
rate, compression method, and error correction method. When the two
modems have tested the phone-line quality and have switched to the
combination of parameters which will provide the best data
communication, then you are given the “ connect” message which
signals the end of the inter-modem negotiation and the beginning of your
intended communication with the remote computer.
Autonegotiation between devices within an Ethernet LAN is similar in
5
concept, but much briefer. The two devices involved in the
autonegotiation will be your DFE-690TXD and the switch or hub
through which it is connected into the LAN. (Switches ordinarily provide
for autonegotiation; traditional hubs do not.) The parameters to be
negotiated between the DFE-690TXD and its supporting switch or hub
include speed (100Mbps = Fast Ethernet, or 10Mbps = traditional
Ethernet) and duplex mode (half-duplex or full-duplex).
Startup communication between the two devices occurs when both
devices are operating, the cable connection between them is good, and
the connected notebook PC's network software is loaded. As soon as
those conditions are satisfied, the preparatory process of auto-negotiation
between the DFE-690TXD and its supporting device begins and
proceeds automatically.
If the supporting switch or hub has autonegotiation functionality, then it
and the DFE-690TXD exchange a series of messages in which each
device signals its capabilities and listens for corresponding information
about the other. The auto-negotiation process requires only a few
milliseconds, and the two devices select the best communication
parameters supported by both devices.
If the supporting device does not have autonegotiation functionality, then
its monotone (single capability) message will be recognized by the DFE-
690TXD’s autonegotiation facility, and the DFE-690TXD will simply
switch to the one of its own capabilities which matches that of the
6
supporting device.
Once the auto-negotiation is completed, the line is ready, and it will
provide an optimal data channel between the DFE-690TXD and the
supporting device. The line will remain ready without further auto-
negotiation action until the link is broken. Auto-negotiation then reoccurs
at any time that the link is restored, again making the line ready for
optimal data communications.

LED Indicators
The direct port features 2 LED indicators:
100 Indicator: indicates that data transmittal rate is at a fast 100 Mbps.
10 Indicator: indicates that data transmittal rate is at 10 Mbps.

Troubleshooting
Confirming the Connection (LED Indicator)
When the notebook computer is powered “ON,” and the DFE-
690TXD is inserted into an open slot connector, please check the
following items if your LED light is not “ON.” When all items are
working, your DFE-690TXD’s direct port LED light should light up
green (“Link” state.)
1. Make sure that your Ethernet Cat5 cable is in good working
order.
2. Make sure that your hub or switch is powered “ON” and
functioning properly.
3. If the LED remains dark without any apparent cause, check
the “Device Manager.” If there is an exclamation point next
to the DFE-690TXD, then double-click to open. A message
indicating the error will appear.
4. After verifying that the DFE-690TXD has been installed
correctly, check steps 1 and 2 again. If you continue to
encounter a problem, please call D-Link Technical Support
for assistance.
11
Troubleshooting the Hardware Installation
If you experience any problems with the hardware installation, first
ascertain that all network cable connections are firm, that the proper
grade of cable is used for the network connection, and that the cable
makeup is correct (straight –– without un-needed crossovers in the
connector wiring). Check that the supporting hub is powered-on and
operating normally, and that the hub is properly qualified (under 10Base-
T and/or 100Base-TX standards).
Verify Each Computers Identification
If more than one computer on your network has the same “Computer
name,” communications may be negatively affected. Also, each
computer must have the same “Workgroup” name to communicate
properly.
Verify Network Adapter Installation
If your Network Adapter were not installed, including the Network
System Software or Device drivers, your network will not function
properly. Use these steps to verify that your Network Adapter is properly
installed.
1. Double-Click the “System” icon in the Control Panel.
2. Click the “Device Manager” tab on top of the “System
12
Properties” dialog box.
3. Double-Click “Network Adapters” if you do not see any items
branching out. You should see “D-Link DFE-690TXD Cardbus
PC Card” branching out after double-clicking “Network
Adapters.”
If you do not see any items branching out after double-clicking “Network
Adapters,” your Network Adapter has not been properly installed. Start
at the beginning of the “Quick Install Guide.”
If you see symbols such as yellow exclamation point or red “X” over the
icon adjacent to “D-Link DFE-690TXD Cardbus PC Card,” your card is
not installed properly or may have a problem. Double-click the “ D-Link
DFE-690TXD Cardbus PC Card ” and read the explanation of the
problem. This information will be helpful if you require technical
support from D-Link.
Verify Cable Connections
Check to see that the computer you are troubleshooting is properly
connected. Each computer must be connected from its DFE-690TXD
with Category 5 cables. Examine the network cables and ensure that
being walked-on, rolled over by chairs, or caught in doors, has not
damaged them. Additionally, make note of and alleviate any possible
electromagnetic interference that may be affecting your network.
Your network cables can be plugged into any port on your hub except the
13
“Uplink” port. The “Uplink” port is only used when connecting your hub
to another hub or switch.
Diagnostics and Checking Communications
Included on the CD-ROM is a “DFE-690TXD PCMCIA Adapter Driver
Program.” It is a diagnostic program that will help you determine if any
faults exist in your DFE-690TXD Network Adapters or connection.
1. Restart your computer in MS-DOS mode. (Click “Start,” then
“Shut Down…,” and finally, select “Restart the computer in
MS-DOS mode.”)
2. Insert the CD-ROM that came with your DFE-690TXD Cardbus
PC Card into your CD-ROM drive. (e.g., D:\)
3. Type D:\DIAG.EXE at the MS-DOS prompt and press “Enter”
to start the D-Link Diagnostic Program.
4. Read and follow the instructions on the screen (Press the F1 key
for additional help.)
5. “Adapter Basic Diagnostic” will determine if any problems exist
with DFE-690TXD.
6. “Network Diagnostic” will determine if problems exist with your
network or connections. To use “Network Diagnostic,” please
run program on both computers in MS-DOS Mode.
If you encounter any problems, please contact D-Link technical support.
14
Pinging your DFE-690TXD Card
Follow these steps to Ping a device:
Ping is the acronym for Packet Internet Groper (PING), a utility to
determine if a specific IP address is accessible. It works by sending a
packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply. Ping is primarily
used to troubleshoot Internet connections. By sending out a ping, you are
verifying that a specific computer is available. Since all computers on the
network must have a unique IP address, getting a reply means that a
computer is on the network and it can communicate. If you cannot ping
another computer, then there is probably a problem with the hardware.
Check the cabling and adapter installation. If you are unable to network,
even when you receive a reply to your ping, it is probably a software
configuration issue. Verify that all the settings are correct.
Start MS-DOS Prompt.
15
Type in following: ping:xxx.xxx.xx.xx, where xxx.xxx.xx.xx is the IP
address to be pinged (i.e. 192.152.81.85). In this case, computer A is
pinging its own IP address.
A successful ping will show four replies.

Computer Identification
If you had previously given your Windows 98 computers
names or if you are using Windows 98, you may need to
verify that each computer has a unique name and common workgroup
name.
A. On your Desktop, right-click the icon "Network Places" and select
"Properties" from the context menu.
B. Click the "Identification" tab on the top of the dialog box.
18
C. Type a unique, identifying name for this particular computer
in the "Computer name:" box. This will be the name that other
computers on your network will use to communicate with this
computer. Each computer’s name must be unique on a particular
network or confusion will result. (The computer’s name should be 15
or fewer characters with no spaces.)
D. Type the workgroup name this computer will be a part of in
the "Workgroup:" box. All of the computers on your network should
have an identical Workgroup name.
E. The "Computer Description:" box is optional. You may enter
a description that will help you identify this computer on your
network. Then click "Close."
F. Repeat this process for each computer on your network to
ensure that they all have a unique "Computer Name" and identical
"Workgroup."
19
Sharing Files
With your computers connected together on a network, you
may now open and save files on another computer. You will be able to
specify particular folders or disk drives to "share" and even password
protect them. The steps below will enable you to share specific files and
folders with other computers on your network.
A.On your Desktop, right-click the icon "Network Places" and select
"Properties" from the context menu.
B. This dialog box is where you will come to configure most
of your computer network settings. It is also available through the
"Network" icon in the Control Panel.
C. Click the "File and Print Sharing·" button.
20
D. Click to place a check mark next to "I want to be able to
give others access to my files."
E. Click "OK" on the "File and Print Sharing" dialog box.
F. Click "OK" on the "Network" dialog box.
G. Provide the Windows 98 installation CD or diskette(s)
if prompted or direct Windows to the proper location of the
installation files. Reboot if prompted.
H. You will now be able to identify a particular folder or disk drive to
share. You may want to share a folder that both you and a
colleague/family member need to access occasionally. Or, maybe you
want to share a CD-ROM drive so your other computer that does not
have one can read CD’s. Both processes are the same. Only the disk
drives and folders that you specifically identify as shared will
be accessible to other computers on your network.
I. Find the disk drive or folder you want to share using
Windows Explorer or the "My Computer" icon on your desktop.
21
J. Right-click on the disk drive or folder icon and select "Sharing."
22
K. Select "Share As:" to set the parameters for sharing this
particular disk drive or folder.
L. The "Share Name:" box is used to identify the disk drive or
folder you are sharing to other computers on the network.
You can give it any name you wish. However, a specific
identification may help as more resources on your network
are shared.
M. The "Comment:" box is optional. You can use this box to
further describe the disk drive or folder for others on the network.
N. "Access Type:" allows you to designate how much
others on the network can do with this disk drive or folder. "Read-
Only" allow others only to look at or open the files on the disk drive
or in the folder. "Full" allows others to read, write, open, save, copy,
move, and delete files on the disk or in the folder. "Depends on
Password" gives other computers access conditional upon the
password they provide.
23
O. "Passwords:" allow you to apply a level of security to your
shared disk drives and folders. Another computer (user) will be
required to enter the password you designate here before accessing
the disk drive or folder. Two passwords are used to give two levels
of security (or access) to others on the network using the "Depends
on Password" setting. Leaving the "Password" boxes empty gives
everyone on the network access to the disk drive or folder.
P. Click "OK" to continue. You will be prompted to enter the
password(s) you provided for verification. Retype the
password(s) just as you entered them the first time.
Q. You may now access this disk drive or folder from another
computer on your network. Do so by double-clicking the "My
Network Places" icon on your desktop or inside Windows Explorer.
R. Navigate to the computer with the shared disk drive or
folder (recognized by the "Computer Name" you provided), double-
click. You should now see the disk drive or folder, double-click. If
you specified a password when sharing this disk drive or folder, you
will be prompted for the password.
S. You can access a disk drive or folder shared over the
network from most Windows applications. To make this process
easier, Windows allows you to map these disk drives and folders to a
drive letter on another computer. For example, on a computer where
you are accessing a shared folder from another computer, inside
Windows Explorer right-click and select "Map Network Drive·"
You will then be able to assign an available drive letter. Checking
"Reconnect at logon" allows Windows to map this network drive
each time you start your computer.
24
Sharing Printers
"Sharing" a printer connected to one computer with other
computers on your network can be very convenient - allowing you to
print from any computer on the network. The steps below will enable
you to print with other computers on your network.
A. On your Desktop, right-click the icon "Network
Places" and select "Properties" from the context menu.
25
B. Click the "File and Print Sharing" button.
C. Click to place a check mark next to "I want to be able to allow others
to print to my printer(s)."
D. Click "OK" on the "File and Print Sharing" dialog box.
E. Click "OK" on the "Network" dialog box.
F. You may now share any installed printers connected to
this computer with other computers on your network.
26
Go to START>SETTINGS>PRINTERS
Right click on the printer you want to share with others on the network
and select "Sharing."
G. Click "Share As:" and provide a "Share Name:" to identify
the printer to other computers on the network. "Comment:"
and "Password:" are optional. Then click "OK."
For a computer to access a Network Printer, the device driver or
software for that printer must be installed and pointed to the proper
location of the printer. This is done much the same way you
installed the printer on the computer it is connected to.
H. Go to a computer that does not have the printer connected
to it. From the "Start" button on the Task Bar select "Settings" and
then "Printers."
27
I. Double click the "Add Printer" icon.
J. The "Add Printer Wizard" will appear. Click "Next."
K. Choose "Network printer" and click "Next."
L. Now you will identify the location of the Network Printer.
If you know the name of the computer and the share name of the printer,
you can type it into the "Network path or queue name:" box. However, it
is easier to click the "Browse" button and navigate to the location of the
printer. Click "OK" when you have selected the desired printer. Finish
the installation by continuing the "Add Printer Wizard" normally.
M. You may now use the Network Printer as if it was connected
directly. Note: the computer that the printer is connected to must be
“on” to use the printer. If you find this inconvenient, devices known
as Network Print Servers are available from D-Link including the
DP-301P and DP-101. A Network Print Server would allow you to
directly connect your printer to your network without worrying about
which computer is “on.”
