ATTENTION
Before connecting the TAP-213 to the DC power inputs, make
sure the DC power source voltage is stable.
Communication Connections
10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
The TAP-213 has a 10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet port (LAN1 8-pin
shielded M12 X-coded connector). The 10/100/1000TX port located on
the front panel is used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices. Most
users configure this port for Auto MDI/MDI-X mode, in which case the
port’s pinouts are adjusted automatically depending on the type of
Ethernet cable used (straight-through or cross-over), and the type of
device (NIC-type or HUB/Switch-type) connected to the port.

100/1000Base Fiber Port Connection
The TAP-213 has a 100/1000Base socket, which you can use to connect
SFP modules. You must use a fiber transceiver with the SFP module for
the module to work properly. The concept behind the fiber port and
cable is that, unlike electric signals, optical signals do not require a
circuit in order to transmit data. Suppose you want to connect two
devices, device 1 and device 2, one of the optical lines is used to
transmit data from device 1 to device 2, and the other optical line is
used to transmit data from device 2 to device 1, for full-duplex
transmission. Remember to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device 1
to the Rx (receive) port of device 2, and the Rx port of device 1 to the
Tx port of device 2. If you are using your own cable, we suggest
labeling the two sides of a line with the same letter (A-A and B -B, as
shown in the example below), or A1-A2 and B1-B2).
