Connecting Network Devices
The TigerSwitch 10/100 is designed to interconnect multiple
segments (or collision domains). It may be connected to 10 or 100
Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to Ethernet and
Fast Ethernet hubs, switches or routers. It may also be connected
to remote devices using the optional 100BASE-FX or Gigabit
modules.
Note: Before connecting cables, you may want to first configure
the Spanning Tree Protocol to avoid network loops. Refer
to the Management Guide for more information.
Twisted-Pair Devices
Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with
RJ-45 connectors at both ends. For 100BASE-TX connections,
Category 5 cable is required; for 10BASE-T, Category 3, 4 or 5
cable can be used.
