Unpack the network TAP
·
Configure DIP switches located on the back of the TAP next to the power supply
Note:
Anytime the configuration switches are changed the user must remove and then apply power for the changes to take effect.

Definitions:
Synchronization Mode
: DIP Switch 1 and 2 in OFF position. When in Synchronization Mode, all ports of the
P1GCCB TAP are Auto MDI/MDIX, Auto Speed and Auto Duplex automatically. The TAP will synchronize to
determine the highest supported network speed, drop link across all ports, and then only advertise and link to
the highest supported common speed on all ports. Places the TAP in full auto mode.
1G, 100M or 10M Speed Mode:
(See table for Switch positions)
When one of the Speed Settings are selected
then you have to option to select the Duplex (AUTO or FULL) and whether to have LFP turned on or not.
Link Failure Propagation (LFP):
Used mostly for HA designed networks. It can sense a network failure and
reflect the failure to the other side of the network allowing the network’s failover mechanism to switch over to
the secondary network path.
Duplex:
AUTO setting (Switch 3 in ON position default) lets the port negotiate the duplex mode with the link
pair (only in copper connections).
FULL setting forces the link to full duplex mode
Breakout
: An operating mode that allows monitoring of separate traffic streams, one for each direction of
network traffic.

FailSafe
: On power loss, live network tap ports re-establish link
with each other, resuming traffic flow between critical network
devices.
