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 1000BASE-SX
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.
