To connect the TAP-DS3E3 into the network, 
refer to Figure 4 below and follow these steps:

IMPORTANT

Do not exceed the maximum length of 122 meters
between end-points.

Figure 4.  TAP-DS3E3 simple connectivity diagram

1.  Connect a 75Ω coaxial cable from your network

device output (e.g., E3, DS3/T3 or STS-1 network) 
to the TAP-DS3E3’s 

B IN

BNC port.

2.  From the TAP-DS3E3’s 

A OUT

port, connect 

a separate coaxial cable to your network 
device input.  At this point, you should have 
a two-way connection established between 
the TAP-DS3E3 unit and your network.

3.  Next, connect a coaxial cable from your 

router’s (or other network device) output 
port to the TAP-DS3E3’s 

A IN

port.

4.  From the TAP-DS3E3’s 

B OUT

port, connect 

a separate cable to your router’s input port.  
At this point, you should have a completed
passthrough established between the network 
and your router via the TAP-DS3E3 unit.

5.  Now, connect a separate cable from the 

TAP-DS3E3’s 

A TAP

port to a port on your 

Network Analysis Tool interface card.

6.  Finally, connect a separate cable from the 

other port on your Network Analysis Tool 
interface card to the TAP-DS3E3’s 

B TAP

port.
