Cable Guide
Note:
This cable guide is for 100MB operation only and is to ensure that the LAN devices can still
communicate even if power to the TAP fails. It is not necessary for 1000MB operation as Auto-
MDIX is used. Most equipment vendors follow the above standard MDI or MDIX configurations,
however some vendors may not. To ensure proper connectivity, always verify link at the network
devices with the TAP power off. If there is no link try changing one of the cables from Straight-
thru to Cross-over.

monitoring ports to the MONITOR PORTS A and B on the TAP.
8.
Check the Link/Activity indicators on your sensors’ network ports to see
whether data is flowing from the TAP to the sensor ports.
Note:
If the TAP fails to power up or fails to show activity on all ports make sure that the power
source is turned on and all connections and cables are known good.
Link Failure Propagation (LFP) Mode
When selected the TAP will monitor each LIVE PORT link. If one of the devices con-
nected to a LIVE PORT fails, then the other LIVE PORT will immediately drop; the yel-
low indicator on the first port will light to indicate that the device connected to it was
the first to fail. Once the failed connected device is back on-line, then the other LIVE
PORT will immediately come back on-line. This feature is generally used in Redundant
Configured Networks. (HSRP - Hot Standby Routing Protocol, OSFP - Open Shortest
Path First protocol, etc.
