one end of the twisted-pair cable with the notch on the network 
adapter's RJ-45 port and insert it into the port until it clicks 
into place.

2. Align the RJ-45 connector on the other end of the twisted-pair 
cable with the notch on one of the hub's RJ-45 ports and insert it 
until it clicks into place.

3. Repeat the procedure in steps 1 and 2 to connect the other PCs to 
the hub.

NOTE:  You cannot connect the nodes directly to each other through 
straight twisted-pair cable.

4. Plug the hub power adapter into an AC power source and then into 
the hub's power socket.  Your network components are now connected.

NOTE:  There is no power switch on the hub.  Once the power adapter is 
connected, the hub is powered on.
