General description

The Dynex DX-E201 network PC Card is a credit-card size Ethernet/Fast-Ethernet adapter for Ethernet computing. The computer must be equipped with a Type II 32-bit CardBus-compliant slot. The card will not fit into 16-bit slots.

The card automatically detects network settings, and configures itself for optimum performance on the connected network.

Note: Auto-negotiation works only when the card is connected to the network by a device (switch or hub) which also has auto-negotiation.

The card features two LED indicators that show linkage and activity states, speed and duplex, transmitting and receiving data, and carrier detection.
