Introduction

The D-Link DE-220P Series is a new line of Plug and
Play

 

Ethernet adapters based on the technology of D-

Link’s best-selling DE-220 Ethernet adapters. Plug
and  Play(PnP) technology provides automatic con-
figuration of newly installed devices without user
intervention, eliminating much guess-work  from in-
stallation of PC upgrades.

Ease of use is the hallmark of the DE-220P Series.
After installing a DE-220P Series card, configuration
is exceedingly simple for both traditional (non-PnP)
systems and the newer PnP-compliant systems.

For PnP systems, simply install the DE-220P Series
card into an expansion slot.  Configuration by the sys-
tem software then proceeds automatically.  If multiple
network interface cards are installed, the PnP system
guarantees that there are no conflicts among them.

For non-PnP systems, just install the DE-220P Series
adapter into an available expansion slot, then run the
supplied setup program, 

setup.exe

. Online help an-

swers   your   questions ,  and  an   advanced    diagnostic
