Reassemble the two halves and put the screw back in. Plug in a 9v battery to the battery connector.

Ready to test:

Press the button.
The power light should light (if not try another battery and check you connections)

Plug a short length rj45 patch cable into your switch/patch panel port/wall jack and plug the other end into the link detector and press the button.
The power light should light and if you have a link the link light should light.

Since the AUI adapter is designed for 12V a possible more compact alternative to the 9V is an A23 12V battery. It might actually fit inside the case if you have the right model of adapter and are handy with a dremel tool and soldering iron.
