a heartbeat packet.
Active OP Mode
When the Heartbeat Active Mode option is disabled, the M100G1AC stops sending heartbeat packets, and
the user can manually set Active Bypass to one of the following modes: Inline, Active Bypass, TAP,
TAPI12, TAPA, TAPAI1, TAPAI2, TAPAI12 or Linkdrop mode, through the Active OP Mode option.
HB Active Expired OP Mode
When the Heartbeat Active Mode option is enabled, the M100G1AC sends heartbeat packets on its
monitor ports. If the M100G1AC does not receive heartbeat packets from the monitor ports, the M100G1AC
switches to Active Bypass, TAP, TAPI12, TAPA, TAPAI1, TAPAI2, TAPAI12 or Linkdrop mode according
to the predefined settings of the Heartbeat Active Expired OP Mode parameter.
Heartbeat TX Direction
The heartbeats can be transmitted in any of the following directions:
-
From port Mon0
-
From port Mon1
-
From both ports (Mon0 and Mon1, bidirectional)
Heartbeat Fail Detect
When the Heartbeat TX Direction option is set to Both (bidirectional, heartbeat packets are
transmitted from both port mon0 and port mon1), the Heartbeat Fail Detect criteria can be set to:
-
Bidirectional: The M100G1AC will change its state if neither monitor ports receive the heartbeat
packets. The M100G1AC will restore to its default state if at least one of the monitor ports receives
the heartbeat packets.
-
Unidirectional: The M100G1AC will change its state if either of the monitor ports does not receive
heartbeat packets. The M100G1AC will restore to its default state when both monitor ports receive
the heartbeat packets.

The hex text file can be a continuous hex string like “11223344aabbccdd……” or contain
Space/Tab/LF/CR to separate the bytes like “11 22 33 44 aa bb cc dd……”
