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.
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.
