translation is that multiple slots can simultaneously share the one
network IP address of the cradle.
Accessing the outside network with the CRD2700-4000E is not the
same as a direct connection to the outside network. When using
NAPT, many network services do not function at all. Since NAPT
modifies addresses in TCP/IP and UDP/IP headers, it is
insufficient for network services that embed IP addresses inside
packet data. Also, the CRD2700-4000E assumes that a Palm
client sending data with one TCP or UDP source port expects to
receive replies on the same port number, but some network
services may reply with data over a range of ports. These network
services are unusable with the CRD2700-4000E. Also, some
services listen to incoming requests from the network. Since port
numbers are usually fixed for a given service, no Palm terminals
can be set up as listeners.
Inter-Connecting Cradles
Up to four 4-slot CRD1700-4000S serial cradles may be inter-
connected (daisy-chained) with the CRD2700-4000E using an RJ-
45/10 to RJ-45/10 inter-cradle cable (p/n 70349-001). This cable
is required for each cradle to be connected.
W
ARNING
Each cradle must have its own power supply. Any other
method of power hookup is unsafe.
To inter-connect cradles:
1. Connect the power supply to the second 4-slot cradle as de-
scribed in the Connecting Power section.
Note:
You must use a 8V. 5A. power supply on the serial cra-
dle being connected to the ethernet cradle.
