Daisy-Chaining Ethernet ShareCradles

Daisy-Chaining Ethernet ShareCradles

Daisy-chain up to ten 5-Slot Ethernet ShareCradles to connect several cradles to an Ethernet network. Use either a straight or crossover cable.
Do not daisy-chain when the main Ethernet connection to the first cradle is 10 Mbps as throughput issues will almost certainly result.
  1. Connect power (3) to each 5-Slot Ethernet ShareCradle.
  2. Connect an Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the switch (5) and the other end to the Primary Port (1) of the first cradle.
  3. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Secondary Port (2) of the first cradle.
  4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable (4) to the Primary Port of the next 5-Slot Ethernet ShareCradle.
