Page 9 9 3. Additional Module Description 8 Port Connectivity Module: Version : Copper In-Line, Part No. : XXS-4CIL Use: Up to four (4) true In-Line TAPs for 10/100/1GbE UTP The Copper In-Line Module comes equipped with eight RJ45 Connectors. Once connected links are failsafe and attached segments will never be interrupted, even if the XX-32G is not powered due any reason.
Page 10 10 3. Additional Module Description (cont’) 8 Port Connectivity Module: Version : SPAN Module, SFP based, Part No.: XXS-8SFP Use: Up to 8x SPAN 10/100/1GbE Input Ports or up to 8x 10/100/1GbE Output Ports. XX-Manager allows configuration of each Port Usage for In- or Output in any combination.
Page 11 11 3. Option Slot: Passive Fiber TAP This slot is for a In-Line passive FiberTAP solution. Quad Fiber TAP in Alternate: Single Fiber TAP Use: The sets of passive couplers guarantee that XX-32G will never cause a point of failure to any fiber network segment.
Page 12 12 3. Option Slot: Passive Fiber TAP (cont’) Fitting to the local Fiber Network‘ specifications (MultiMode, SingleMode, Split Ratio) the Monitor Outputs of the passive TAP can used both further for being the Intakes to either 1GbE SPAN Ports of the Connectivity Module or to either fixed 1GbE or 10GbE Ports at XX- 32G.
Page 13 13 4. Unpacking and Installation Unpack careful all items and retain packing material for later use. XX-32G is shipped with the following items: • XX Main Unit • Swappable Module(s) (if purchased) • 1x Power Cord & 1x Cat5 & 1x RS232 Cable, 2m ea.
Page 14 14 4. Unpacking and Installation (cont.) Installing SFP and SFP+ Connectors No SFP or XFP are included unless ordered separately via your supplier. Any SFP based Network Port at XX-32G must be equipped with a standard Module to match the local requirements.
Page 15 15 5. Connecting to Network and Appliances Connecting SPAN Ports to XX-32G (fixed Ports or Module Ports) Attach to any fixed SPAN Ports or to SPAN Ports of installed Connectivity Module by appropriated cable. Apply the other end of cable to any SPAN Port of any switch or any other source of traf- fic.
