Article: This will include an Xbox or Xbox 360 game supporting system link capability, game discs for each console (featuring the identical game version, maps, etc.), as many televisions or monitors are you need for each player and a system link or crossover cable. Those wishing to connect more than two consoles should also acquire an Ethernet hub, switch or router with enough ports to accommodate the number of consoles in use. You can determine whether a game supports system link by looking on the back of the game box or in the manual. This will also tell you how many players can join in on system link play. Note that standard ethernet cables won't work without a hub for original Xbox users because they do not negotiate IP addresses. A crossover cable is required instead. Simply use your system link cable or Ethernet crossover cable to create a connection between the Ethernet port on the back of each console. You'll find the Ethernet port below the Aux port on the original Xbox, Xbox 360 E and Xbox 360 S editions, and it's located next to the A/V port on the original Xbox 360. Those connecting at least three consoles will instead use Ethernet crossover cables to connect your consoles (separately) to the network hub, switch or router. Note that some older routers may not work as well. Connect the consoles to your network hub, switch or router in order rather than skipping one of the ports. A standard ethernet cable (Cat5 or Cat6) will work for original Xbox consoles (so long as you're using a network hub rather than connecting the systems directly). Note that you may wish you to assemble your screens so that other players can view them all or only the player's. Either way, you'll likely need some space to arrange them appropriately. Be sure you've each inserted your game discs to the consoles. You'll find system link instructions associated with your specific game, so follow those, and you're on your way. Those connecting at least three consoles should switch on their network hubs, switches or routers before turning on the consoles.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Gather needed materials. Turn off and connect the consoles. Connect the consoles to separate televisions or monitors. Turn on your consoles.
Article: Protect your knuckles, loose ligaments, joints, and the bones in your hands with a wrap. Hand wraps are single strips of semi-elastic cloth with a thumb loop on one end and a piece of velcro on the other end. They come in a variety of colors, widths, lengths, and styles. You will need one wrap for each hand. Roll up your hand wrap so that the thumb loop is on the end. Beginning with the back of your hand, as opposed to the palm of your hand, prevents the wrap from loosening up when you make a fist. Wrap your wrist three times, keeping the wrap below the thumb loop. Position the wrap above the thumb loop and wrap the palm of your hand three times. Position the hand wrap diagonally along the palm of your hand--from the base of your pinky to the base of your thumb. Bring the wrap around the base of your thumb and between your pinky and ringer fingers. Pull the wrap between your pointer finger and thumb, positioning the wrap diagonally across the back of your hand. The wrap should form a "X" on the back of your hand. Move the wrap back to the base of your thumb. Form a second "X" by pulling the wrap between your middle and ring fingers in the same manner. Form a third "X" by pulling the wrap between your middle and index finger in the same manner. End this process with the wrap positioned at the base of your thumb. This separates the fingers. Wrap your thumb once. Pull the wrap across the back of your hand and around your wrist to the base of your thumb. Pull the wrap halfway around the thumb. Instead of going around the thumb, pull the wrap across the palm of your hand at the base of your fingers. The hand wrap WILL change directions. This locks the thumb in place and secures the hand wrap. Wrap the knuckles. Pull the hand wrap around your knuckles three times. If you have extra length on your hand wrap, you may either wrap the knuckles additional times or make "Xs" around the back of your hand. Make sure the wrap doesn't become too thick--you still need to put your gloves on! Finish wrapping your hands at your wrist and secure the velcro. This provides additional wrist support.
