ONNECTIONS
Connecting Network Devices
The TigerSwitch 10/100 is designed to interconnect multiple segments
(or collision domains). It may be connected to network cards in PCs and
servers, as well as to hubs, switches or routers.
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. Use Category 5 for 100BASE-TX connections,
and Category 3, 4 or 5 for 10BASE-T connections.
