Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The DUB-1312 USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter is designed to plug into an available Universal Serial Bus (USB) port on any
desktop, laptop, or notebook computer running Microsoft Windows® 8,7, Vista®, XP, Mac OS® X, or Linux. Based on the USB
3.0 standard, the DUB-1312 can extend the transfer speeds of USB Fast Ethernet adapters to true one Gbps connectivity.*
Power is provided directly by the USB port, eliminating the need for an external power adapter. The DUB-1312 supports USB
energy-saving suspend and resume functions, in order to minimize power consumption. This is especially useful for laptop
and notebook users.
*Network congestion may aect data rates. You may experience slower transfer speeds due to heavy data trac elsewhere on the network.

Section 2 - Installation
After installation, the Connection Speed LED on the DUB-1312 will illuminate solid orange only if the device is connected to
a 1 Gbps network. It will remain o if the DUB-1312 is connected to a 10/100 Mbps network. The Link/ACT LED will be solid
green when a connection is present, and will ash green when data is being transmitted or received.
If both LEDs are unlit, there may be a problem with the physical connection. Check the connection and cables between the
DUB-1312 and your switch or router. Also verify that your network switch or router is powered on.

Section 3 - Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Do I need to use a crossover cable or straight-through cable?
With most of D-Link’s switches/routers, the Ethernet ports are Auto MDI-II/MDI-X. This means the port will auto-detect the
cable type. Auto MDI-II/MDI-X ports may react dierently 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.”
Why isn’t my DUB-1312 achieving one Gbps speed?
1 Gbps (1,000 Mbps) is the theoretical maximum speed of the gigabit Ethernet standard, and actual speeds may vary. Gigabit
connectivity is dependent on a number of factors, and just one weak link in your network can reduce data speeds. If you are
not achieving gigabit speeds, you should check the following:
• Ensure that the DUB-1312 is plugged in to a USB 3.0 port, and that the drivers for this port are correctly installed.
• Check your network cable. A cable with specication for Category 5e (enhanced) or above is required for gigabit speeds,
with a maximum length of 100 metres. Also check your cable for damage, or for wear and tear.
• If you are connected to a switch, hub, or router, ensure that this device is also gigabit-capable.
• Network congestion can aect data rates. You may experience slower speeds due to heavy data trac elsewhere on
the network.
