Use the Personal MiniHub to expand from one to up to eight ports at
an existing site. Simply plug the existing networked device’s cable into
one of the MiniHub’s front RJ-45 ports. Then set the uplink port switch to
“X” and connect the uplink port to the existing network outlet. Plug the
external power supply into an AC power outlet, and plug the DC power
plug into the jack on the rear of the unit. In minutes, you have four or
eight new ports available for other networked devices.
