Step 2: Connect to the Network Medium

Make the network connection by running a UTP cable from the supporting switch or hub

to your direct port. Simply plug one end (RJ-45 plug) of the cable into an available port

of the switch or hub, and plug the other end (RJ-45 plug) into the RJ-45 socket of your

direct port coupler.

Step 3: Confirm Connection (Ln/Act Indicator)

When the notebook computer's power is ON, the DFE-680TXD is firmly seated in the

slot connector, the direct port has a good cable connection to the supporting hub, and the

supporting hub is power on and functioning properly, then the direct port’s Ln/Act LED

glows steady green ("Linkage" state).

If the Ln/Act LED remains dark without apparent cause, then the most likely fault is poor

engagement of the 68-pin front -end plug. Review the following section titled "Remove

the DFE-680TXD," then remove the DFE-680TXD from its slot. Repeat the procedures

of the above Step 1, "Insert the DFE-680TXD," taking care to ensure that the DFE-

680TXD is right side up and front-end first, and that it seats firmly in a suitable PC Card

slot of your notebook. Repeat the procedures of Steps 2 as necessary get the Ln/Act LED

confirmation.

NOTE: You might need to wait a few seconds following notebook power up, or

following insertion of a PC Card, for the software processing to be completed. The
