QUICK START GUIDE
Breakout Network TAP | M1GCCB
To deploy the M1GCCB Modular Tap into your network, simply:
-
Unpack the network TAP
-
Configure the DIP switches before TAP insertion into chassis (see next page)
-
Install network TAP into the live network -
THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH NO POWER
CONNECTED TO THE TAP
-
Using two (2) straight through Ethernet cables, connect ports [A] and [B] of the M1GCCB
between the two (2) live network devices where monitoring is desired. Again, with NO POWER to
the TAP verify network traffic is flowing. Traffic will flow with no power to the tap.
-
If traffic does not flow, then we need to verify network speeds and duplexing. In 10M and 100M
environments, one (1) straight through cable and one (1) crossover cable may be required.
-
Verify live network is up and running
-
Power up the TAP
-
Connect ports [C] and [D] of the M1GCCB to the monitoring tools for directional network
monitoring
Note: Network Cables MDI/MDIX determines direction of monitor output port
Please take notice, the M1GCCB is only manageable via the DIP switches. DIP switch 8 must be
in the off position even if it is inserted into a managed chassis (M1GxACS)
Network cabling:
Note: For space, the diagram above is showing the network and monitoring links on separate
TAPs. A / B network ports correspond to C / D monitoring ports for each TAP individually.
