Connecting Network Devices

The TigerSwitch 100 is designed to interconnect multiple segments
(or collision domains). It may be connected to 100 Mbps network
cards in PCs and servers, as well as to Fast Ethernet hubs, switches
or routers. It may also be connected to remote devices using the
optional 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-X 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.
