5. For the Port Forwarding mode, one to two more fields have to be
configured.
Note that if either setting below is incorrectly configured, a
networking issue occurs.
Field Description
Role
(available on all
cascaded devices)
Master or Slave.
This is to determine which device is the
master and which ones are slave
devices.
Downstream interface
(available on the maser
device only)
USB or ETHERNET.
This is to determine which port on the
master device is connected to Slave 1.
Always select USB.
6. (Optional) Configure the network settings by clicking the BRIDGE,
ETHERNET, or WIRELESS section on the same page.

In the Bridging mode, each cascaded device can have different
network settings. You may need to configure each device's
network settings in the BRIDGE section.

In the Port Forwarding mode, all cascaded devices share the
master device's network settings. You only need to configure the
master device's network settings in the ETHERNET and/or
WIRELESS section.
See
Wired Network Settings
(on page 270) or
Wireless Network
Settings
(on page 273)
Tip: You can enable/configure multiple network interfaces in the Port
Forwarding mode so that the cascading chain has multiple IP
addresses.
7. Click Save.
For information on accessing each cascaded device in the Port
Forwarding mode, see
Port Forwarding Examples (on page 287).
Enable R/STP if a cascade loop is preferred:

You can "loop" a cascading chain to create network communication
redundancy (Bridging mode only), but only when your network
supports R/STP protocol.
Make sure that your network has R/STP enabled if using a cascade
loop (Bridging mode)
or else network loops may occur.
