P1GXXA
Series Portable Tap
Installation Guide
This portable network TAP series is ideal for 100/1000MB copper or fiber
network monitoring. The innovative design allows these TAPs to be easily installed
into any copper or fiber 100/1000 network segment.
Once installed in your network the 100/1000 network TAP will enable you to
monitor your network segments quickly and effectively using a network analyzer,
security devices, or any monitoring tool. This 100/1000 copper TAP allows you to
capture full-duplex traffic without dropping any packets or SPAN input traffic to be
replicated to up to 3 monitor ports.

Notes: 1. Sw 2 must be in OFF position for proper
operation with fiber Network Ports.
2. Packet Injection is only operates with
copper ports with this TAP series.

Definitions:
1G, 100M Speed Mode: Switch position 1, ON equals 1000Mbps, OFF equals 100Mbps.
Duplex: AUTO setting (Sw 2 in ON position is default for Copper Network Ports) lets the port negotiate
the duplex mode with the link pair (For Fiber Network Ports Sw 2 must be in the OFF position for proper
operation).
FULL setting (Sw 2 in OFF position) forces the link to full duplex mode
Link Failure Propagation (LFP): Switch position 3, used mostly for HA designed networks. It can
sense a network failure and reflect the failure to the adjacent port of the live network allowing the
network s failover mechanism to switch over to the secondary network path.
Bypass Mode:
Breakout Mode: An operating mode that allows monitoring of separate traffic streams, one for each
direction of network traffic.
Aggregation Mode: An operating mode that allows monitoring the A&B traffic onto one monitoring
port.
SPAN Mode: An operating mode that allows traffic from one or more SPAN outputs of a Switch or
Router to be sent out to one or more monitoring ports.
Packet Injection:
Failsafe: On power loss, the live network TAP ports re-establish link with each other (per IEEE
specification, resuming traffic flow between critical network devices.
