GigaBit Fiber Port Aggregator Tap Introduction Net Optics GigaBit Port Aggregator Taps with SFP Monitor Ports provide ultra-efficient access to critical GigaBit links. This pioneering technology enables any two devices to simultaneously monitor a full-duplex link using only one NIC per monitoring device. Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) connectors on the Monitor Ports allow these Port Aggregators to also perform media conversion from fiber to copper.
GigaBit Fiber Port Aggregator Tap • Passes all traffic (including errors) from all layers for comprehensive troubleshooting • No IP address is needed for the Tap or monitoring device, enhancing monitoring security • Redundant power ensures monitoring uptime • Fully RoHS compliant Ease of Use • LED indicators show redundant power, speed, link, and activity status • Front-mounted connectors support easy installation and operation • Silk-screened application diagram illustrates all connections for easy deploy
GigaBit Fiber Port Aggregator Tap About this Guide This Guide provides you all the information you need to install and operate the GigaBit Fiber Port Aggregator Tap. Please read the entire Guide before attempting to install or operate the Tap.
GigaBit Fiber Port Aggregator Tap Application Diagrams: Memory Operation All traffic that passes through the Tap is sent to the monitoring device NIC on a first-in, first-out basis, including traffic that is temporarily stored in memory. (If two packets enter at the same time then one packet is processed while the other is stored briefly in memory, preventing collisions.) When there is a burst of data, traffic in excess of the NIC's capacity is sent to the Tap's memory.
GigaBit Fiber Port Aggregator Tap State 2: Side A + Side B becomes greater than 100% of the NIC's receive capacity. Example: There is a burst of traffic, so Side A is now at 900 Mbps while Side B remains at 500 Mbps. The NIC's utilization is at 140%, requiring the use of memory to help prevent data loss.
GigaBit Fiber Port Aggregator Tap Connecting to the Network Optical connections are extremely sensitive to contaminants. Make sure all optical surfaces are clean before connecting. To connect to the Network Ports: 1. Remove protective plugs. 2. Connect Network Port A to the appropriate network device using a Duplex LC cable. 3. Connect Network Port B to the appropriate network device using a Duplex LC cable. 4. Verify that the Tap Network Ports are cabled in-line between two devices.
GigaBit Fiber Port Aggregator Tap Connecting the Monitoring Device To protect the Port Aggregator Tap, the SFP slots are filled with temporary plugs. If you are installing only one SFP, leave the plug in Monitor Port 2 to protect the Port Aggregator Tap. You must install the SFP before connecting to the monitoring device. To connect the Monitor Ports: 1. Remove the SFP from its protective packaging. 2. Remove the temporary plug from Monitor Port 1. 3.
GigaBit Fiber Port Aggregator Tap Changing the SFP Monitor Port Connector You have the option to change the interface on the Monitor Port by changing the small form-factor plug (SFP) on the Monitor Port. You can order conversion kits which include the singlemode fiber, multimode fiber, GigaBit copper SFP and appropriate cable from Net Optics. For ordering information, see Specifications on page 9. To change the SFP: 1. Remove the cable from the SFP on the Port Aggregator Tap. 2.
