Key Features
Passive, Secure Technology
Supports full-duplex monitoring with a single NIC, increasing monitoring
efciency
Regeneration Tap technology enables two devices to simultaneously moni-
tor all aggregated trafc – using only one NIC per device
One megabyte of memory for each side of the full-duplex link (two mega-
bytes memory, total) prevents data loss during excessive trafc loads
Provides complete full-duplex visibility at 10 or 100 Mbps without data
stream interference or introducing a point of failure
No IP address is needed for the Tap or monitoring device, enhancing moni-
toring security
Compatible with Mid-Span Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications
Redundant power ensures monitoring uptime
Fully RoHS compliant
Enhanced, Efcient Monitoring
Active response capability increases Tap-based monitoring exibility and
efciency
Hardware switch provides a secure transition between passive mode (trans-
mit only) and active mode (transmit/receive) for the Active Response Port
Ease of Use
LED indicators show redundant power, speed, link, and activity status
DIP switches select auto-negotiation or xed speed and duplexing settings
for the Tap
Front-mounted connectors support easy installation and operation
Silk-screened application diagram illustrates all connections for easy
deployment
