I haven't owned a T100 for many years, but I recall that the standard 
wiring was for duplex working, so you need to add a power supply and 
couple the keyboard contact to the receive magnet to get local copy.

I'm sure there is a T100 manual on line somewhere which would be a help. 
It sounds as if your model has had some modification already as the 
switchboard plug is NOT part of the normal wiring!
