Turn the unit on by pushing the

Note: You can also attach the X4 to an access point,
switch, or network hub via its
ETHERNET
jack and
thereby connect multiple computers.
—
If your hub has an uplink or daisy chain port, you can use
the supplied straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the
two.
—
If your hub has a numbered port or if you are using an
access point, you need a crossover Ethernet cable (sold
separately).
Throughout this manual, when we refer to an X4 Ethernet
connection, it should be understood that this connection may
be to a computer, access point, or hub.

Communication with the X4
