Step 1: Connect your Cables

Plug LinkStation’s power cord into a power outlet. Then, connect the
included Ethernet Cable into the Ethernet port on the back of LinkStation.

Connect the other end of the included Ethernet Cable into a hub, switch,
or router on the network, or connect it directly to a nearby running PC.
Connecting directly to a PC is not recommended, as many features,

including DHCP, will not function in this conguration.

Press the power button on the front of LinkStation to turn it on.

Step 2: Check your Connection

Check the LINK/ACT light on the front of the LinkStation. If it is lit, then
LinkStation is connected properly; please turn to page 4 to continue setup.
If it is not lit, continue to the next step.

Verify that the LINK/ACT light on the front of LinkStation is lit (see Step 4’s
picture). If it is lit, turn to page 4 to contintue setting up LinkStation. If the
LINK/ACT light is still not lit, please verify the following:

Both LinkStation and the hub, switch, or PC are powered on.

The Ethernet Cable is securely fastened to both devices.

The Ethernet Cable is not damaged. To verify try using
another Ethernet Cable. When verifying new cables, remember
to switch the black ‘Cable Selection’ switch to both positions.
