August, 1997) Rev.01 ( 6DFE853...01 Printed in TaiwanThis guide provides basic information for installation and use of D-Link Fast Ethernet transceiver models DFE-853 and DFE-854. Introduction D-Link Fast Ethernet transceiver models DFE-853 and DFE-854 represent the best value on the market. These transceivers are IEEE 802.3u compliant and support both half- and full-duplex operation.
Page 9
The DFE-854 MII to 100BASE-FX multimode fiber transceiver supports transmission distances up to 2 kilometers (full-duplex) and 412 meters (half-duplex). The DFE-854 transceiver only operates at 100Mbps Network Cables Supported The connectors and network cables supported by these two transceivers are listed in the following table Model Connectors Type of Network...

Features DFE-853 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Transceiver Conforms to the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T and IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX standards. Supports Auto-negotiation. Data transfer rate: 10/100 Mbps. Supports transmission distances up to 100 meters. One MII connector and one RJ-45 connector. 32 selectable PHY addresses (00h-1Fh). LED indicators allow for visual verification of speed, power, data transmit, linkage, data receive, full/half-duplex and collision functions.
32 selectable PHY addresses (00h-1Fh). LED indicators allow for visual verification of power, data transmit, linkage, data receive, full/half-duplex and collision functions. Operating temperature: 0 – 55 degrees Celcius. Storage Temperature –20 to 55 degrees Celsius Humidity: 10 - 90% (non-condensing) EMI Certification: FCC, CE, VCCI and C-Tick DIP Switch The following figure shows the DIP switch on both DFE-853 and...

For the DFE-853 transceiver, switch F is used to set the advertisement ability; for the DFE-854, switch F is used to set half- or full-duplex mode. The FDX/HDX Indicator shows the result. For the DFE-8533: set the switch F to the OFF position if the attached device, such as a switch or a NIC card, has Auto- negotiation capability or can communicate in full-duplex mode;...
LED Indicators The DFE-853 and DFE-854 transceivers feature the following LED indicators: SPD Indicator (green) - for DFE-853 only Steady green when transmission is at 100Mbps. It is off when transmission is at 10Mbps. Below are indicators for both DFE-853 and DFE-854. Col Indicator (yellow) A light up to indicate a collision has occurred.

Connections This section describes the general connection schemes for both transceivers. DFE-853 The DFE-853 Fast Ethernet transceiver can be used for making MII to RJ-45 connections. The following figure shows in the foreground a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX TP cable connected to the transceiver. The transceiver’s MII connector is attached to an MII host device such as a hub or a switch.
