Product Overview

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.

Step.5 Click OK twice to save your settings.

Troubleshooting

Confirming.the.Connection.(LED.Indicator)

When the notebook computer is powered "ON," and the DGE-660TD 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 DGE-660TD's direct port LED light should light up green ("linkage" 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 is 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 DGE-660TD, then double-click to open. A message indicating the error will appear.
4. After verifying that the DGE-660TD 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.

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 100Base-TX and/or 1000Base-T 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 is 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 Properties" dialog box.
3. Double-Click "Network Adapters" if you do not see any items branching out. You should see "D-Link DGE-660TD 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 DGE-660TD Cardbus PC Card," your card is not installed properly or may have a problem. Double-click the "D-Link DGE-660TD 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 DGE-660TD with Category 5 cables.

Examine the network cables and ensure that none have been walked-on, rolled over by chairs, caught in doors, or damaged. 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 "Uplink" port. The "Uplink" port is only used when connecting your hub to another hub or switch.

Pinging.your.DGE-660TD.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.

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.

Networking Basics

About Gigabit Ethernet

Gigabit Ethernet is a network technology specified by IEEE Standard 802.3ab. It extends the traditional 100Mbps (100 megabit/sec) Fast Ethernet technology to achieve 1000Mbps (1000 megabit/sec) transmission and reception. Because Gigabit Ethernet retains the traditional Ethernet CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense, Multiple Access, and Collision Detect) protocol, it remains wholly compatible with 100Mbps Ethernet while providing a tenfold increase in network capacity.

The DGE-660TD provides full-duplex 1000Base-T operation (in Category 5 twisted-pair cable environments utilizing all 4 pair). To provide for traditional 10 or 100Mbps Ethernet operation in twisted-pair cable environments, the DGE-660TD also offers 10 or 100Mbps Ethernet operation, in full-duplex and half-duplex modes. The DGE-660TD's auto-negotiation capability provides for automatic selection of the best operation mode.

About Auto-negotiation

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 that is supported by both modems, and to decide 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.

Auto-negotiation between devices within an Ethernet LAN is similar in concept, but much briefer. The two devices involved in the auto-negotiation will be your DGE-660TD and the switch or hub through which it is connected into the LAN. (Switches ordinarily provide for auto-negotiation; traditional hubs do not.) The parameters to be negotiated between the DGE-660TD and its supporting switch or hub include speed (1000Mbps = Gigabit Ethernet, or 100Mbps = Fast 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 DGE-660TD and its supporting device begins and proceeds automatically.

If the supporting switch or hub has auto-negotiation functionality, then it and the DGE-660TD 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 auto-negotiation functionality, then its monotone (single capability) message will be recognized by the DGE-660TD's auto-negotiation facility, and the DGE-660TD will simply switch to the one of its own capabilities that matches that of the supporting device.

Once the auto-negotiation is completed, the line is ready, and it will provide an optimal data channel between the DGE-660TD 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.
