1. Power both network devices,
do NOT
power the TAP
Note: A powered TAP will always correct a wrong cable setup.
Connect the network using category 5e UTP cables.
In case of 10-100Mb network hardware that does not support auto-
crossover:
a. If the two (2) network devices are of DTE and DCE type, use two (2)
straight cables.
b. If the two (2) network devices are of the same type (2*DTE or 2*DCE)
use one straight and one cross-over cable.
* The connected network devices show LINK (or Activity). If there is no
LINK, change one of the cables by an opposite type.
2. When powering the Tap, the Power LED lights and after negociation
of the highest mutual Speed, linked and active ports LEDs indicates the
network speed:
Left LED light for a 10Mb connection.
Right LED light for a 100Mb connection.
Both LEDs light for a Gigabyte connection.
They blink if only one network cable is connected.
* Network activity is shown on the Activity LEDs of NetworkA and Net-
workB
3. Connect the two Monitor Ports to the analyzer using straight or cross-
over CAT5e cables.
The Monitor Ports are at the speed of the network ports.
The Monitor Ports Link LEDs light when link is found.
* Activity received into NetworkA and NetworkB will be mirrored on the
respective Monitor Ports and blink the ACTIVITY LEDs.
The maximum distance between any of the connected devices is
100mtr.
