Installation Guide for Gigabit TX/SX Tap

Figure 2.
Connecting a GigaBit TX to SX Tap to the Network
1. Unpack the Tap and verify that you have all components, and obtain the
required cables needed to successfully install the unit.
2. Connect Network Port A to the appropriate switch, server or router using a
CAT5E RJ45 straight-thru cable. This will act as your DCE interface.
3. Connect Network Port B to the appropriate switch, server or router using a
CAT5E RJ45 straight-thru cable. This will act as your DTE interface.
4. Verify that the Tap Network Ports are cabled in-line between two devices.
Link Fault Signaling
The Tap negotiates separately with each side of the full-duplex link,
detecting if either side fails. In the event of a failure, the Tap ceases nego-
tiation with the remaining side, enabling a clean fail-over to a redundant
network connection (if one is available).
