Installation Steps
1.
This product is dependent on OS drivers. If you have a Windows 10, 8, 8.1, or 7 computer this TAP will not
require you to install device drivers if the OS is up-to-date. Check www.usr.com/support/4524 for latest driver
information. Download drivers if needed.
2.
Unpack the TAP and, if desired attach to the optional rack mount. Instructions are provided on page 4.
DO NOT CONNECT THE POWER/USB at this point.
3.
Configure the DIP switches (located on the back side of the unit) for the operating mode of your choice.
4.
Install the network TAP into the live network.
standard Ethernet cables, connect ports A and B between two live network devices where monitoring is desired.
5.
Verify network traffic is flowing, confirming that network cabling is correct.
6.
If your USB host is not 3.2 Gen 1 or higher, connect the power supply to the USR4524 and plug it in to an available power
source.
7.
Attach the TAP to your computer/server with the provided USB 3.0 cable. Windows should immediately detect a high
speed USB hub device connected. Use the USB port to connect with monitoring tools for traditional traffic monitoring.
