5.How to connect the PC Expanion to the host PC directly

You can also use the PC Expanion by connecting it to the LAN port of a host computer directly. In this case, you cannot use the Cable supplied with the product. You will need a cross-over LAN cable. If a host computer has one LAN card and the PC Expanion is connected to the LAN card, the computer cannot be connected to the Internet or external networks. In this case, to connect the host computer to the Internet or external networks, install an additional LAN card in the computer and refer to ‘When there is more than a LAN’. The LAN card must support 100Mbps or higher.

When only one LAN card is plugged in the host PC (more than 100Mbps support)
