When the port forwarding mode over wireless LAN is intended, a
Raritan product with two USB-A ports must be the master device,
such as PX3 or PX3TS.

A standard network patch cable (CAT5e or higher) if the bridging
mode is intended.

A standard network patch cable or a Raritan USB WIFI wireless
LAN adapter if the port forwarding mode is intended.
For information on the Raritan USB WIFI adapter, see

via a USB cable. The second additional device is Slave 2.
