Speed Led; Link Led; Daisychaining Ethernet Cradles - Motorola MC21XX SERIES Integrator Manual

Speed LED

The green Speed LED lights to indicate that the transfer rate is 100 Mbps. When it is not lit it indicates that the
transfer rate is 10Mbps.

Link LED

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.

Daisychaining Ethernet Cradles

Daisychain up to four cradles to connect several MC21XXs 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 daisychain cradles:
Connect power to each Ethernet cradle to daisychain.
1.
Connect an Ethernet cable to Port 1 of the first cradle as shown in
2.
Connect a second Ethernet cable between Port 2 of the first cradle and Port 1 of the second cradle.
3.
Connect additional cradles as described in step 3.
