How do you get the Ethernet connection to turn on?

You don't turn them on. You plug into the port.
What is the problem you are trying fix?
Is this the MR2100 MobileRouter?
There is support for this device, including manuals, at the end of this link:

Re: M2 how to turn on ethernet
I plug in Cat6 cable from my NAS to the Ethernet port on the router.
However it doesn't just become visible to the network.
After some hunting on the internet I found mention that the router's power button needed to be pressed (touched) after a cable had been plugged in so that the pretty would be activated.
I have had that work before a couple of times. But last night I spent a couple of fruitless hours and totally failed to get a connection.

Re: M2 how to turn on ethernet
No M1 or M2 at hand, there was some discussion about a coming-up firmware for the M1 back then allowing to disable the standby timer - https://community.netgear.com/t5/Mobile-Routers-Hotspots-Modems/Nighthawk-M1-Ethernet-Port-Timeout/t... - worth checking the systems configuration.

Re: M2 how to turn on ethernet
I've checked and it says it is running the latest firmware.
I can't anything in the menu or the app or the manual about the Ethernet port ( except references to data offloading).

Re: M2 how to turn on ethernet
Indeed. The MR1100 was out in Austrialia for nearly a year before coming to the US. And it still took another whole year to work out most of the bugs. Presumably when the MR2100 finally comes to the US it, too, will have similar issues.
