Daisy-chain up to ten 5-Slot 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.
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the switch (1) and the other end to the primary port (2) of the first cradle.

Connect an Ethernet cable to the secondary port (3) of the first cradle.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the primary port of the next 5-Slot Ethernet cradle.
The two cradles are connected.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional cradles.
