  • Using a PC or similar device with an Ethernet connection, plug it into the switch and test that you can access the network and Internet.

  • Next select a single Raspberry Pi. This will be your Master unit.

  • Connect the mouse, keyboard, and the monitor to the Raspberry Pi.

  • Test that the Raspberry Pi is in easy reach of the switch by connecting them together via an Ethernet cable. Once you have confirmed this you can disconnect the Ethernet cable.

  • Next check that the USB cables can easily plug...
