To connect the Expansion Module and share a network connection with an
end-user PC:
If there is a networked computer and no extra Ethernet wall jacks near the Expansion
Module, then plug the PC Ethernet cable into the Expansion Module. The PC can share
the network connection through the Expansion Module PC port.
Figure 5. Expansion Module Network and PC Ports
1. Unplug the Cat.-5 Ethernet cable from your computer.
2. Plug that Cat.-5 Ethernet cable into the Network port on the back of the Expansion
Module, as shown below.
3. Plug another Cat.-5 Ethernet cable into the PC port on the Expansion Module.
4. Plug the other end of the second Cat.-5 Ethernet cable into your computer.
 If a GigE network is being used, a computer connected through the Expansion
Module will be limited to 100 Mbits/s. If you require a GigE Ethernet rate, use
separate Ethernet connections for the Expansion Module and the computer so
that the computer can take advantage of the greater bandwidth.
