Link Fault Detect
TM
The 10/100/1000BaseT Tap has Link Fault Detect on the Network ports. The
Tap.negotiates.separately.with.each.side.of.the.full-duplex.link,.detecting.if.
either.side.fails ..In.the.event.of.a.failure,.the.Tap.ceases.negotiation.with.the.
remaining.side,.enabling.a.clean.fail-over.to.a.redundant.network.connec-
tion.(if.one.is.available) ..Link.Fault.Detect.requires.that.both.sides.of.the..
full-duplex.link.and.communicating.at.the.same.speed .
Cabling Guidelines
If.connecting.to.Switches.or.Hubs,.use.CAT5e.RJ45.cross-over.cabling .
If.connecting.to.Routers.or.NICs,.use.CAT5e.RJ45.straight-through..
cabling .
MDI Cross-over
Cross-over cables are required for 10/100BaseT devices that do not support
MDI cross-over function. When the 10/100/1000 Tap is not receiving power,
links.are.negotiated.between.the.devices.connected.to.the.Tap’s.network.ports.
A.and.B ..If.these.devices.do.not.support.MDI.cross-over.function,.a.cross-
over.cable.is.required.to.establish.the.link ..Gigabit.mode.works.with.both.
cross-over.or.straight-through.cables .
