10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 1 Introduction Net Optics 10/100 Dual Port Aggregator T aps with Active Response provide ultra-efcient access to critical links with the option to inject an active re - sponse into the network.
10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 2 Simple to Deploy Net Optics’ Dual Port Aggregator T ap with Active Response is a simple plug- and-play solution addressing the fact that many monitoring systems, including most software based solutions, only offer a single channel NIC, limiting full- duplex visibility .
10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 3 K ey Fea tur es Passive, Secure T echnology Supports full-duplex monitoring with a single NIC, increasing monitoring efciency Regeneration T ap technology enables two .
10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 4 Unpacking and Inspection Carefully unpack the 10/100 Port Aggregator T ap w/Active Response and check for damaged or missing parts.
10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 5 Figure 3: Rear Panel LED Indicators PWR 1/ PWR 2: Main and Redundant Power . If the T ap is deployed with both power supplies, both LEDs will illuminate when the T ap is plugged in. If an LED is off, this indicates that the corresponding power supply is not functioning.
10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 6 Each using a single NIC, the monitoring devices both receive all combined traffic from Side A and Side B, including physical layer errors. State 1: Side A + Side B is less than or equal to 100% of the NIC's receive capacity.
10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 7 The Tap applies a first-in, first-out process to all packets. Once the burst has ended and the NIC's utilization is again below 100 percent, the Tap first processes the packets that were stored in memory.
10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 8 Cabling Guidelines Use straight-through cable to connect the T ap Ports to a Router or NIC. Use cross-over cable to connect the T ap Ports to Switches and Hubs. The T ap Ports T ransmit on Pins 3 & 6 and Receive on Pins 1 & 2.
10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 9 Connecting to the Monitoring De vice(s) 1. Supply power to the T ap using the power supplies included with the unit. T wo power supplies are included.
10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 10 DIP Switch Settings Switch Function Description 1 T urns Auto-negotiation ON or OFF . Factory default setting is Auto-negotiation. If turned ON, ports A, B, and C/D automatically negotiate the links. Positions 2 thru 8 are inac- tive.
