Explanation of LED’s
The top of the USB Ethernet adapter has a series of LED’s to provide you with at-a-
glance diagnostic and status information.
LINK/ACT – This is a yellow LED that when lit, tells you that you have a good
connection to your network. If it is not lit, check your Ethernet cable.
ACT100M – This tells you that you are connected to a 100BaseT (100 Mb/s)
network.

Once installed, Windows will treat the adapter as it would any standard Ethernet
connection. Use whatever tools, programs, or configurations you would normally use
to utilize your computer on an Ethernet network.
