ETHERNET CONNECTION

  

 
The Ethernet cradle drivers are pre-installed on the Elf and 
initiate automatically when the Elf is placed in a properly 
connected Four Slot Dock Ethernet. 
 
When the mobile computer is inserted into the Four Slot Dock 
Ethernet, the connectivity icon on the taskbar indicates that the 
mobile computer is connected to a network. 
 

 

NOTE 

The maximum bandwidth capacity for each 
Mobile Computer is 12Mbps. 

 
The yellow Link LED blinks to indicate activity, or stays lit to 
indicate that a link is established. When it is not lit it indicates 
that there is no link. 
 

 

CAUTION 

Connections should always be made with power 
OFF! 

 
 

How to connect 

 
Connect the Ethernet cradle (Ethernet port 1 - E) to an Ethernet hub 
or to a port on the host device. Connect the Ethernet cradle (power 
port - F) to the power supply.

Daisychaining Ethernet Connection 

 
To connect several cradles to an Ethernet network, the Ethernet 
cradles may be daisychained. It is recommended not to connect 
more than 4 cradles in order to maintain the optimal baud rate.  
 
To daisychain the cradles: 

1.  Connect the first Ethernet cradle to the power supply and to the 

Ethernet Switch as shown in Figure 6. 

2.  Connect the second Ethernet cradle to the power supply. 

3.  Connect the daisychain Ethernet cable (either straight or twisted 

cable can be used) between the Ethernet Port 2 of the first 
cradle and the Ethernet Port 1 of the second cradle. 

4.  Connect additional cradles as shown in Figure 6.
