Product Description
The D-Link DMF-560TXD is a Direct Port 10/100Mb dual-speed Ethernet PC card with an integrated V.90/K56flex data-fax modem. It allows PC or Power Macintosh laptop users to seamlessly connect to both Ethernet and Fast Ethernet LANs. The D-Link DMF-560TXD also allows users to send and receive faxes, connect to the Internet, and dial into a remote-access server or PC.The D-Link Direct Port technology allows users to plug their phone and network cables directly into the DMF-560TXD without the need for an external media coupler or dongle. Unlike similar technologies available in the market, D-Link's Direct Port can be plugged into the top PCMCIA type II slot on a notebook or laptop with double PCMCIA slots without blocking access to the second bottom slot.
The DMF-560TXD strictly adheres to the IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u standards for Ethernet and Fast Ethernet and the ITU modem standards including V.90 to ensure maximum interoperability. The DMF-560TXD attempts to connect at the highest speed supported by an ISP, LAN, host modem, or fax machine and automatically defaults to a lower speed until a stable connection can be created.
Now shipping with Macintosh drivers, the DMF-560TXD can be used both with PowerBooks as well as PC-compatible laptops. Microsoft Plug and Play compatibility and a wide assortment of drivers enable the DMF-560TXD to work with most popular operating systems. A menu-driven installation utility and included diagnostics provide a simple method for installation and troubleshooting. Integrated digital line protection protects the modem from being damaged when connecting to a high-current digital PABX.
