Installation - ProfiTap C1D-1G Product Manual

2. INSTALLATION

1.
Power both network devices. Do NOT power the TAP. Connect the network devices to
the TAP using category 5e UTP cables.
• If one of the network devices is of DTE type, and the other one of DCE type, use
straight cables.
• If both network devices are of the same type (both DTE or both DCE) use one
straight cable and one cross-over cable.
The connected network devices should show a link, or traffic activity. If there is no link,
change one of the cables by a cable of opposite type.
2.
Power the TAP. If two network devices are connected on the network ports, the
Speed LEDs blink to indicate the negotiation of the highest mutual speed. When the
connection is established, the Speed LEDs indicate the network speed:
• Left LED only for 10 Mbps
• Right LED only for 100 Mbps
• Both LEDs for 1 Gbps
If no mutual speed is detected, the two Speed LEDs blink alternatively.
Network activity is shown by the Link/Tx LEDs of Network A and Network B.
3.
Connect the Monitor ports to the analyzer using straight or cross-over CAT5e cables.
The Monitor ports operate at the same speed as the Network ports.
The Monitor ports' Link/Tx LEDs are on when a link is found.
Traffic received by Network A and Network B will be mirrored to Monitor A and
Monitor B respectively, and the Link/Tx LEDs will blink as traffic passes through.
The maximum distance between any of the connected devices is 100 meters.
