Connecting the Network Cables (Multiple Machines)
For connecting multiple machines to the computer, an Ethernet switch
device and cables are required. The switch is a small electronic device that
allows multiple devices to be connected through a network. You can con-
nect as many machines as your switch will allow.
1. Connect the Ethernet switch power cable to the switch and a
power source.
2. At least two Ethernet cables are required with the switch. Connect
one end of the Ethernet cable into any port on the switch.
3. Connect the other end of this cable directly into the Ethernet port
on the computer.
4. Now using another cable, connect one end into a different port on
the switch.
5. Connect the other end into the cable port on the rst machine you
want to connect.
6. If there are other machines, continue to connect the next cable(s)
from the Ethernet switch to the machine(s).
7. If all the machines are connected, you may now move on to
Selecting the Connection.
