Note: You can also attach the X5 to an access point,
switch, or network hub via its LAN jack(s) and thereby
connect additional computers.
—
If your hub has an uplink or daisy chain port, you can use
the supplied straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the
two.
—
If your hub has a numbered port or if you are using an
access point, you need a crossover Ethernet cable (sold
separately).
Throughout this manual, when we refer to an X5 Ethernet
connection, it should be understood that this connection may
be to a computer, access point, or hub.

The unit performs a startup sequence—the front panel
LINK
light blinks. (For reference, we have included a table on page
42 that defines the X5’s front panel lights.) When the
LINK
light changes from blinking to solid, turn your computer back
on and proceed to
Establishing Communication with the
X5
(page 10).
