To deploy the P1GXXAS Portable Tap into your network, simply:
Unpack the device and attach it to an optional rack mount bracket (sold separately)
Install the P1GCCAS assembly into any available 1U slot of a network rack and secure it with rack
mount screws.
Utilizing the DIP switches (located on the reverse side of the unit, next to the power input)
configure the P1GXXAS for the operating mode of your choice (see next page) Install network TAP
into the live network.
THIS STEP NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH NO POWER CONNECTED TO THE TAP
Using standard Ethernet cables, connect ports [
A
] and [
B
]
(Auto MDIX) of the P1GXXAS between
the two live network devices where monitoring is desired. Verify network traffic is flowing,
confirming that network cabling is correct.
Connect ports [
C
]
and [
D
]
(Auto MDIX) to the monitoring tools for traditional traffic monitoring
(SPAN mode may also be used for regenerating outputs).
Connect the power supply to the P1GXXAS and plug it in to an available power source.
Note:
Other operating modes are available for monitoring and may be configured using the
provided DIP switches. Using SPAN or regeneration mode on fiber models may require both [
A
] and
[
B
]
ports to be connected to obtain link on port [
A
]
or [
B
]
.
The
BP
LED serves no purpose on this model.
Anytime the configuration switches are changed the user must remove and then re-apply power for
the changes to take effect.
