SS-1200, SS-2200, SS-4200 Series USERguide
2 Overview
The SINGLEstream family of products increases network visibility and leverages your investment
in network analyzers, probes, and security equipment by allowing you to simultaneously monitor as
many supported configurable ports as you may need to fit your peripheral network tools. Greater
visibility accelerates problem resolution, reduces downtime and increases enterprise productivity.
The SINGLEstream family of products is compatible with all vendor hardware and can be
controlled by our Command Line Interface (CLI) software which allows you control with a single
interface regardless of what network appliances you choose to deploy.
This User Guide addresses the SINGLEstream family which includes the SS-1200-S, SS-2200-S
and SS-4200-S series of products with specific models within each series.

2.1 LINKprotect
™
Many traditional taps prevent the operation of redundant routing and fail over systems because they
keep both sides of the network invisible to the other. The built-in LINKprotect feature eliminates
this point of network failure by continuously monitoring both sides of the tapped network for link
status. If one side of the tap loses link status, LINKprotect will close the other side of the link, so
routers and switches can engage protocols to bypass the failed link.
