Attach the cable to the RJ-45 connector by following these steps:
  1. Plug the cable into the RJ-45 connector.
  2. Secure the other end of the cable to the 100Base-T or 10Base-T hub/switch.
  3. If necessary, reconfigure the hub/switch port to operate at the desired auto-negotiation, speed, and duplex settings.

Note
NOTE: All of the LEDs on the adapter (except the Power LED) are initialized by software when the link is started on the system. Therefore, until software initializes the adapter, the state of the LEDs cannot be reliably interpreted.
