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 power to each 5-Slot Ethernet Cradle.
Connect an Ethernet cable to port 1 on the back of the first cradle and to the Ethernet switch.
Connect an Ethernet cable to port 2 on the back of the first cradle to port 1 on the back of the second cradle.
