QUICK USER GUIDE

(A)

  DIP switch for LLD on/off, TAP mode and speed

        (see section 5.) 

(B)

  Connection for 12-48V DC voltage

        The polarity at the DC connection does not matter, as the TAP  

        automatically detects the live line and passes the power supply 

        to the TAP accordingly in the required form! 

(C)

  Redundant connections for 2 AC/DC power supplies (5V)

and the right LED flashes.

100M mode

Depending on the configuration of the TAP speed 

(see section 5.3)

, the LEDs light up in different combinations. 

It must be ensured that all devices connected to the NETWORK port are set to the same network speed when 

configuring the TAP speed. This is the only way to ensure smooth and transparent operation of the TAP.
As soon as the TAP displays the desired or configured link speed via the LEDs, proper operation of the TAP 

is ensured.

3.1 Front view - meaning of the port LEDs

If an invalid configuration has been selected, all LEDs on the unit light up and the relay switches are not acti-

vated. In this case, switch off the unit and check the DIP switches.

When changing the configuration by means of DIP switches, it is always necessary to perform a restart by 

disconnecting the power supply so that the new settings are activated!

As shown in the figure on the left, the first switch 

is used as the LLD on/off switch, the second and 

third are used to select the operating mode, and the 

fourth and fifth are used to select the speed. 

The switches numbered 6, 7 and 8 are ignored and 

left for future use.

The desired configuration should be set before 

plugging in the power cable.

5. Configuration by means of DIP switch

1G mode

At commissioning:

In operation:

With or without SFP transceiver!

For reasons of compatibility and EMC protection, our TAPS may only be operated with the supplied pow-

er supply units certified together with the TAP. 

If the TAP is nevertheless operated with power supplies other than those supplied, any warranty claim 

that was granted for the TAP will be voided!
