SOLUTION: The SS-1204BT-BT-S taps the link, accepts the input from the workgroup switch and

server switch, replicates the traffic to multiple ports for analysis and utilizes the factory default

LINK PROTECT settings. With the factory default LINK PROTECT settings, if one side of the

network traffic is interrupted for longer than 10 seconds, the tap will enter bypass mode and the

other side of the network will also drop "LINK" with the integrated tap. See the SET LINK

PROTECT section for additional information. The SS-1204BT-BT-S has a built in tap on ports

1 and 2 which make copies of the traffic flowing through the unit.
