Connect the twisted pair segment (4, Fig. 3-1) by inserting the RJ-45 connector (3) into the adapter’s RJ-45 port (2).

Check that the Link LED on the adapter is lit. The Link LED may not light until data has been transmitted out the 10BASE-T port.

If you know the adapter has attempted to transmit data and the LED is not lit, check the items listed here:

Verify that the power is on for the PC.

Check that the 10BASE-T device at the other end of the twisted pair segment is powered up.

Verify that the RJ-45 connector on the twisted pair segment has the proper pinouts (see Figure 3-2, above).
