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. 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.
To daisy-chain 5-Slot Ethernet ShareCradles:
1. Connect power to each 5-Slot Ethernet ShareCradle.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the switch and the other end to the Primary Port of the first
cradle.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Secondary port of the first cradle.
4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Primary port of the next 5-Slot Ethernet ShareCradle.
