Four Slot Ethernet Cradle Setup
Daisychaining Cradles
To connect several cradles to an Ethernet network, up to four Ethernet cradles may be daisychained.
Daisy-chaining should not be attempted when the main Ethernet connection to the first cradle is 10 Mbps as
throughput issues will certainly result. The Speed LED and the Link LED on the Ethernet port 2 function in the
same way as the Speed LED and the Link LED on the front of the cradle.
To daisychain cradles:
1. Connect the first Ethernet cradle to power and to the Ethernet switch as shown on Figure 2-5 on page 2-7.
2. Connect power to the second Ethernet cradle.
3. Connect the daisychain Ethernet cable (either straight or twisted cable can be used) between Ethernet Port 2
of the first cradle, and Ethernet Port 1 of the second cradle.
4. Connect additional cradles as described in Step 2 and Step 3.
