Field TAP
SFP Field TAP | P1GSFPU_mini | 1.2.50
Installation Procedure
1. Unpack the device and place it near an AC outlet.
2. Utilizing the DIP switches (located on the reverse side of the unit) configure the
P1GSFP_mini for the operating mode of your choice. Install network TAP into the live network.
THIS STEP NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH NO POWER CONNECTED TO THE TAP.
If using the
P1GSFP_mini as a media converter proceed to step 6.
3. Using standard Ethernet cables, connect ports [A] and [B] (Auto MDIX) of the P1GSFP_mini
between the two live network elements where monitoring is desired. If using SFPs ignore this
step and proceed to step 4, otherwise proceed to step 5.
4. Insert the SFPs in ports [A] and [B] of the P1GSFP_mini then connect the correct fiber type
between the two live network elements where monitoring is desired.
5. Connect the USB port to the monitoring tool for traditional traffic monitoring.
6. If configured for use as a media adaptor, connect standard Ethernet cables at the rear of the
P1GSFP_mini then insert the SFPs and connect the correct fiber type.
7. Connect the power supply to the P1GSFP_mini and plug it into an available power source.
Note: The P1GSFP_mini is not powered by the USB port.
8. Anytime the configuration switches are changed the user must remove and then re-apply
power for the changes to take effect.
