D-Link DMF 560TXD ... DMF-560TXD is a Direct Port 10/100Mb Dual Speed Ethernet PC Card with an integrated V.90/K56flex Data/Fax Modem. Allowing PC or Power MAC laptop users to seamlessly connect to both Ethernet and Fast Ethernet LANs, the D-Link DMF-560TXD also sends and receives faxes, connects to the Internet, and dials into a Remote Access Server or PC. By combining all these crucial functions into one sturdy, convenient device, you avoid the cost and headaches of buying and transporting multiple devices. Direct Port technology eliminates a huge hassle: broken or lost cables and dongles. Just plug your phone and network cables directly into the DMF-560TXD. No need for an external media coupler or dongle. Unlike similar technologies available on 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 Data Communications Modem standards. 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. As a result, connections are reliable and efficient. Traveling professionals who connect in hotel rooms or unfamiliar places need to be careful not to zap their unit with a digital line. The DMF-560TXD eliminates this fear. If you accidentally connect to a high current digital PABX, the DMF-560TXD's integrated digital line protection shields the modem from certain doom. Now shipping with Mac drivers, the DMF-560TXD can be used with both PowerBooks and 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.
