Networks with Two or More Switch-biased Devices
This configuration exists when multiple switch-biased TIWAY I Devices are attached to
the network, and they should be positioned as described in the following paragraphs.
If two or more devices having the Bias Switch are attached, place one at each end of the
Local Line, and turn on each Bias Switch.
All other devices having a Bias Switch can then be placed anywhere on the network, with
the Bias Switches turned off for the port being used. See Figure 4.
