Step 2: Connect To The Network Medium; Step 3: Confirm Connection (Ln/Act Indicator) - D-Link DFE-680TXD User Manual

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
