Introduction Net Optics GigaBit TX to SX Tap simplifies connecting FX fiber monitoring and.security.devices.to.GigaBit.copper.network.links ..Convert.TX.to.SX.and. tap.into.the.link.with.one.device,.reducing.cost.and.complexity.at.the.same. time ..GigaBit.TX.to.SX.Taps.support.passive.monitoring.of.GigaBit.links.at. speeds.at.1000.Mbps . Transparent Access GigaBit.TX.to.SX.Taps.establish.permanent.passive.access.ports.without. introducing.a.point.of.failure.or.disturbing.other.network.connections ..These. passive.Taps.deliver.full-duplex.monitoring.with.zero.impact.on.network.traf- fic around the clock. Security and Visibility Without.an.IP.address,.monitoring.devices.are.isolated.from.the.network,. dramatically.reducing.their.exposure.to.attacks ..However,.the.monitoring. device connected to the Tap still sees all full-duplex traffic as if it were in-line, including.Layer.1.and.Layer.2.errors .
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.
Connecting a GigaBit TX to SX Tap to the Monitoring Device 1 ..Supply.power.to.the.Tap.using.the.2.redundant.power.supplies.included. with the unit. Verify that the Power LED illuminates. 2 ..Using.a.Net.Optics.Custom.Monitor.Cable,.connect.the.single-duplex.end. to.the.Tap.Monitor.Port.A/B . 3 ..Connect.the.twin-duplex.end.of.the.cable.labeled.DCE.into.the.appropriate. monitoring.device.port.to.monitor.the.DCE.link .. 4. Connect the other twin-duplex end to the appropriate monitoring device port.to.monitor.the.DTE.link ..
