Garland P1G-BP Series Quick Start Manual

Garland's EdgeSafe Bypass TAPs, are purpose-built to provide the ultimate failsafe device that eliminates
single points of failure, reduces network downtime, cuts deployment time and saves money, without
compromising the network.
External Bypass TAPs are connected between a network segment (router and switch or firewall) and an
active inline tool, like a firewall or intrusion prevention systems (IPS). Allowing you to monitor the tool's
health and effectively manage the device through deployment, updates or troubleshooting. If your tool
goes offline for any reason the Bypass TAP functionality will automatically 'bypass' the tool, keeping your
network up while you resolve the issue.
This document describes the front panel, LED indications, interfaces, rear panel, rear switch and
