Daisy-Chaining Ethernet Cradles

Daisy-chain up to ten 5-Slot Ethernet cradles with batteries charger 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.
  1. Connect power (4) to each 5-Slot Ethernet cradle.

  3. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Secondary Port (3) of the first cradle.
  4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable (5) to the Primary Port of the next 5-Slot Ethernet cradle.
  5. Connect additional cradles as described in steps 3 and 4.
