USB 2.0 Fast Ethernet Adapter
DUB-E100

USB 2.0 10/100Mbps Adapter
The DUB-E100 is a high-speed USB 2.0 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet adapter for Windows-based desktop and notebook PCs.
This adapter is designed to simply plug into any available Universal Serial Bus (USB) port on your computer to connect
you to a Fast Ethernet network. Based on USB 2.0, the adapter extends the transfer speed of earlier USB Fast Ethernet
adapters to true 10/100Mbps connectivity.
USB 2.0 for True 10/100Mbps Speed
USB Plug-and-Play
The USB port of the adapter gives you throughput of up to
480Mbps to your computer. That's about 40 times faster
than USB 1.1, the earlier USB specification. Now you can
take full advantage of your Fast Ethernet network speed to
transfer files, send e-mail and upload/download images.
As a USB device, this adapter eliminates the need to open
your computer's cover to plug a network card into an
expansion slot. It also saves your notebook's PC Card slot
for other use. Installation and use are further simplified by
living up to USB's out-of-the-box installation approach to
connecting computer peripherals. You will not have to set
IRQ's and other settings for your network connection.
configuration is automatic at computer power up, and the
adapter is hot pluggable. The DUB-E100 is equipped with
an attached USB 2.0 cable that directly connects to any
USB port on your computer. It is backward compatible
with USB 1.1, so you can use the adapter with USB 1.1
ports as well (in case no USB 2.0 port is available). The
DUB-E100 represents the simplest way to connect your
computer to an Ethernet-based network.
Energy Saving Suspend/Resume Function
The DUB-E100 supports USB's energy saving suspend
and resume function to minimize power consumption,
which is especially useful for laptop/notebook users.
Power is provided directly by the USB bus, eliminating
the need for an external AC power adapter.

Connecting the DUB-E100 to Your
Computer
Plug the DUB-E100’s USB cable into
an available USB port on your
computer.
Windows will detect new hardware
and prompt you for the drivers. Follow
the steps below and then proceed
to the Driver Installation section on
the following pages.
Attach an Ethernet cable to the
Ethernet port on the DUB-E100.
Attach the other end of the Ethernet
cable to your network switch, hub,
or router.

Installing the Drivers
The installation process varies slightly for each Windows operating system. Proceed to
the appropriate installation section for your Windows operating system.

Installation is Complete!
Installation of the DUB-E100 is complete. The LINK LED should be solid green, indicating
a good physical connection between the DUB-E100 and the network. The TX/RX LED
indicates when data is being transmitted or received. If both LEDs are unlit, there may be
a problem with the physical connection. Check the cables between your DUB-E100, the
computer, and the network. Verify that your network switch, hub, or router is powered on.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use my DUB-E100 on a USB 1.1 port?
The DUB-E100 will work on a USB 1.1 port but the transfer speeds will be limited to the
limitations of USB 1.1. If your computer does not have USB 2.0 ports, you can purchase an
add-in USB 2.0 PCI adapter to add USB 2.0 functionality to your computer.
D-Link® offers the following USB 2.0 adapters:
• DU-520 (5 Port USB 2.0 PCI Adapter) for desktop computers.
• DUB-A2 (2-Port USB 2.0 PCI Adapter) for desktop computers.
• DUB-C2 (2-Port USB 2.0 Cardbus Adapter) for laptops computers.
2. Do I need to use a crossover cable or straight-through cable?
With most of D-Link’s new switches/routers, the Ethernet ports are Auto MDI-II/MDI-X.
This means the port will auto-sense the cable type. Auto MDI-II/MDI-X ports may react
differently if the Ethernet cable is not properly pinned. If you make your own cables, it is
very important that they follow the industry standard pin-out (568A and 568B).
Computer connections to a hub, switch, or router typically use a straight-through cable.
When connecting a computer to another computer or to an uplink port then a cross-over
cable is typically required. Rule of Thumb: ”If there is a link light, the cable is right.”
3. How do I verify that my DUB-E100 is properly installed?
You can verify that the adapter has been properly installed in Device Manager:
Windows 98 and Me
• Right click on the My Computer icon and select Properties.
• Go to the Device Manager tab.
• Expand the Network Adapters heading by clicking on the plus (+) sign next to
Network Adapters.
• The D-Link USB DUB-E100 should appear with a green and gold network adapter
symbol.
Windows XP and 2000
• Right click on the My Computer icon and select Properties.
• Go to the Hardware tab and click on the Device Manager button.
• Expand the Network Adapters heading by clicking on the plus (+) sign next to
Network Adapters.
• The D-Link USB DUB-E100 should appear with a green and gold network adapter
symbol.
