1. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

1.1 Interface Connectors

C1-1G TAPs feature 4 RJ45 ports. Network ports A and B are connected to the network,
monitor ports A and B are connected to the analyzer.

1.2 Link / Activity

Four LEDs (Link/Tx) indicate Activity and Link for each of the four ports. The LEDs light up
when a link is detected on the port. The LEDs blink when traffic activity is detected on the
port.

1.3 Speed LEDs

Two LEDs indicate the speed at which the network link is currently operating at. If only the
left LED is on, the link is operating at 10 Mbps. If only the right LED is on, the link is operating
at 100 Mbps. If both LEDs are on, the link is operating at 1 Gbps.

1.4 Link Failure Propagation

Profitap Gigabit Copper TAPs transmit link failure errors between ports, allowing the
network to activate a redundant path, while the TAP stays available for autonegotiation. LFP
ensures less downtime, and is essential for high availability networks.
