The enhancement in throughput provided by JITI is astonishing. It's the A.I. enabled network interface card in the industry and the best performance card in the market. With JITI, the improved DE-660 Ethernet PC Card's performance is sure to benefit most our users. The DE-660 supports the Full Duplex mode when using the 10BaseT media which provides the 20M Bits bandwidth for data transferring. For the BNC media, it can only be configured to Half Duplex Mode. For the convience of configuration, the DE-660 supports "Auto Negotiation" mode. It can auto determine the duplex mode (half or full duplex). 2.0 Overview ------------ The D-Link DE-660 PC Card is designed to work with notebook or handheld computers that either comes with Socket Services and Card Services or have Intel PC Card controller or compatible controller. The ODI DOS driver, NDIS DOS driver, and NDIS OS/2 driver are the only network operating system drivers that support an On-Line Hot-Swap function which allows the card to be removed and re-inserted without reloading the driver. After inserting the DE-660 PC Card into a slot, it is strongly recommended to run INSTALL.EXE in the DOS environment. Then follow onscreen instructions to complete the installation process. 2.1 About INSTALL.EXE --------------------- Before running the install.exe, please insert the DE-660 PC Card into PCMCIA slot in your notebook or handheld computers. The install.exe program will find the available resource (IO base address and Interrupt number) for the DE-660 PC Card automatically. For the Netware DOS Client users: Selecting the "Quick Installation for Netware Client" item of the install.exe, installation program will copy the DE-660 driver to the computer and modified the autoexec.bat file of the computer. After installation, just restart the computer and will connect to the Netware server automatically. For the other users: Running install.exe will display the installation instructions. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation process. 3.0 To view installation notes ------------------------------ ============================================ Windows '95/98/NT users ============================================ For Windows '95/98/NT users, read through this file first then please view the README.TXT file in each subdirectory. ============================================ DOS Users ============================================ For DOS environment users, including NetWare users, Windows 3.1/3.11 users, firstly read through this file then refer to the INST_DOS.txt file on the root directory of the DE-660 Installation Disk for the installation notes. ============================================ OS2 Users ============================================ For OS2 environment users, read through this file first then refer to the INST_OS2.txt file on the root directory of the DE-660 Installation Disk for the installation notes. 3.1 Where to find the README file which is specific to your needs ----------------------------------------------------------------- The following table give you information about the location and contents of the README files that contains information specific to your needs. ------------------------------------------------------------------- File Description/Installation notes -------------------------------------------------------------------- README.TXT Overall installation notes for all users INST_DOS.TXT Overall Installation notes for DOS users,including NetWare users, Windows 3.1/3.11 users.
