CRD5500-400ER Four Slot Ethernet Cradle Connection
Daisychaining Ethernet Cradles
Daisychain up to four Ethernet cradles to connect several cradles to an Ethernet network. Use either a straight
or crossover cable. Daisy-chaining should not be attempted when the main Ethernet connection to the first
cradle is 10 Mbps as throughput issues will almost certainly result.
To daisychain more than one Four Slot Ethernet cradle:
1. Connect power to each Four Slot Ethernet cradle.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet 1 port of the first cradle and to the Ethernet switch. See Figure
2-8.
3. On the first Four Slot Ethernet cradle, connect a second Ethernet cable to the Ethernet 2 port. See Figure
2-9.
4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet 1 port of the second Four Slot Ethernet cradle.
5. Connect additional cradles as described in step 3 and 4.
