TL;DR

Abstract
In previous paper, we present an SO(3) Wu-Yang-like Kaluza-Klein dyon so- lution satisfies the Einstein equation in the seven-dimensional spacetimes. In this note, we will show an alternative approach using an orthonormal frame, the Cartan's structure equations, and calculating the affine spin connection one-form,curvature tensor and Ricci tensor. The results from these two different methods are coincident.

1 Introduction
In previous paper,[1] we have shown that a new SO(3) Wu-Yang-like [2] seven-dimensional Kaluza-Klein(KK) dyon solution satisfies the Einstein equation, by calculating the Christoffel symbols and the Ricci tensor. In this note, we will show an alternative approach [3] using an orthonormal frame, the Cartan’s structure equations and calculating the affine spin connection one-form, curvature tensor and Ricci tensor.
Now consider the Kaluza-Klein theory [4] in a -manifold with a metric on in local coordinates . The line element is

Since the identity, , holds, the right-hand side of the equation (92) can be identified as times the stress-energy tensor of the Yang-Mills field,
