MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS

Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches

1.Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector.

Figure 4-1. Making Twisted-Pair Connections

2.If the device is a network card and the TigerSwitch is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet (see “Wiring Closet Connections” on the next page). Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch.

3.If the device is a hub or switch, use the cable type indicated under “Cabling Guidelines” on page 4-1, and attach the other end to a port on the TigerSwitch.

4.Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft.) in length.

Note: When connected to a shared collision domain (such as a hub with multiple workstations), switch ports must be set to half-duplex mode and back pressure flow control disabled.
