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 straight-
through (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.
Connecting for 10Mbps Ethernet
Category 3, Category 4, and Category 5 UTP cable, as well as
EIA/TIA-568 100-ohm STP cable all meet Ethernet cabling
requirements. The maximum cable run between the DFE-550TX
and the supporting hub or switch is 100 meters. The cable
must be straight-through (not a crossover cable) with an RJ-45
connector 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.
Note: The DFE-550TX will use NWay to automatically detect
whether it is connected at 10Mbps or 100Mbps and configure
itself accordingly. The duplex mode will likewise be auto-
negotiated by NWay at the same time, allowing the host
computer to be up and running on the network as soon as
possible with a minimum of trouble.
