Connecting the Ethernet Adapter 17
Connecting to a Hub You can supply network connections for up to 16 devices, such as
computers and network printers, by connecting the Ethernet Adapter to
an Ethernet hub, as shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8 Connecting to a Hub
You can directly connect the Ethernet Adapter to a hub that does not have
an uplink (MDIX) port, without the need of an Ethernet crossover cable.
Connecting to a
Network Printer
You can connect a network printer directly to the Ethernet Adapter or to
a hub that is connected to the Ethernet Adapter. Used this way, the
Ethernet Adapter allows you to place network printers in areas that are
not wired for Ethernet.
1 Configure the network printer as you would for connecting it to the wired
LAN. For details on configuring the printer, see your printer documentation.
2 If necessary, configure the Ethernet Adapter to associate with your access
point.
3 Connect the Ethernet Adapter to the power supply in its permanent location.
4 Connect the network printer directly to the Ethernet Adapter as shown in
Figure 9, or to a hub that is connected to the Ethernet Adapter as shown
in “Connecting to a Hub” on page 17.
