Application Notes

1. Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access

(such as when a switch is attached to a workstation, server or
another switch). When the switch is connected to a hub, both
devices must operate in half-duplex mode.

2. When a switch is connected to a hub or any kind of shared

media, remember to turn off back pressure to prevent the
attached port from being frequently partitioned due to the
jamming packets.

3. For network applications that require routing (such as when

interconnecting dissimilar network types or distinct VLANs),
you may have to attach the TigerSwitch 10/100 units directly to
a router or Layer 3 switch (such as the SMC6724ML3).
