Datacom Systems Inc Introduction The SPAN and Multi-link Aggregator/Regenerators can combine data from multiple Ethernet network segments into one stream of data. A single device, such as an intrusion detection system, protocol analyzer, or network probe can receive the aggregated data with just one network interface card (NIC).
8:30 AM to 5:30 PM EST. Support is available via phone, fax, e-mail, or website. SINGLEstream ™ Datacom Systems' SINGLE stream superior solution for 24x7 monitoring of full-duplex Ethernet links. While traditional Ethernet taps might enable full-duplex monitoring of all traffic on a network link, they transmit the data to the monitoring device (e.g.
A built-in memory buffer can manage overflows in data transmission and can allow seamless continuity of full-duplex monitoring. Just like all of Datacom Systems' tap products, the SINGLE stream Aggregator/Regenerator is completely non-intrusive. The SINGLE stream SPAN Aggregator/Regenerator redundant power supply design has been thoroughly tested.
