Connecting Power
For power fault protection, the iTap has redundant power supplies. The second
power supply is available to support the ow of traf c to the monitoring device in
the event that the rst power supply becomes unavailable. If the rst power supply
is unavailable, the second power supply provides all power for the iTap. Even if no
power is available to the passive iTap, network traf c ows uninterrupted.
If you plan to use redundant power, make sure that you connect the power supplies
to two separate, independent power sources. After connecting the power supplies,
verify that at least one Power LED is illuminated.
