The meaning of LAN LEDs is the following:

LAN LED 0: TX

LAN LED 1: Link 10/100 (LAN LED 1 signals that the correct connection is established)

LAN LED 2: RX

Ethernet physical adapter

Note: To establish a connection to the Ethernet, the Eurotech Ethernet Adapter can be plugged
between the CPU board (to the J4 connector) and the net cable.

It is shown below.

The green led is fixed, and signals the correct connection of the module.
The yellow led blinks when there is activity (data IN/OUT) on the net connection.

With RJ45 connectors, only twisted pair cables can be used.
