Product Description
The EtherMIRROR avoids downtime in your 10/100/1000BaseT networks. Once in
place it enables you to monitor full and half duplex communication and move
test equipment without interrupting the Ethernet communication. It mirrors
any packet size, bad CRC, VLAN traffic, and sees both ends of full-duplex
links. So it does not filter, change or discard any message.
The “no packet loss” feature makes it ideal for industrial communication
applications. The EtherMIRROR is transparent to the network. It is fault
tolerant, bypasses data on power failure, and the monitor (TAP) ports are non-
intrusive to the network.
Functional description
1.1 Interface connectors
The EtherMIRROR has four RJ45 ports, divided in ‘Network’ and ‘Monitor’ ports.
Network port A and B are hardwired together, and are used to connect to the
network. One port must be directly connected to the device you wish to monitor
(e.g. a controller or PLC), and the other must be connected to the first
switch. When no power is applied to the EtherMIRROR, there is still a
connection between the two network ports. For the 1G version however, applying
or removing power will disrupt communication for about 1 second.
Monitor port A and B are not hardwired together, and cannot be used as switch
ports. They only re-transmit the incoming data of their respective ‘Network’
port. These two ‘Monitor’ ports must be connected to the two Ether TAP ports.
Figure 1 shows the internal connections, and Figure 2 displays how the
EtherMIRROR connects to the Ether TAP. Note that the ‘Monitor’ ports only have an outgoing direction,
meaning that you cannot send anything on these ports, they are only used for
receiving.
1.2 Power
1.2.1 EtherMIRROR 10-100
The EtherMIRROR 10-100 is powered from the front, using the 2-pin green screw
terminal block.
The uninterrupted link in the Network connections guarantees permanent network
connectivity, also when power fails. However, no data is passed to the Monitor
ports when the EtherMIRROR is not powered .
1.2.2 EtherMIRROR 1G
The EtherMIRROR 1G has two power inputs on the front. Only one is required,
the other input serves as a redundant input and is optional.
The Network connection is permanent until the point when both power inputs
fail. In that case there will be a short communication interruption of about 1
second. After that, communication is restored automatically.
When only one power input fails and the other input is still active, the
communication stays intact.
No data is passed to the Monitor ports when the EtherMIRROR is not powered.
1.3 LEDs
1.3.1 Power LED
10-100 version: If power is correctly applied, a green LED will illuminate
above Network port B (the Power icon is indicated above it on the housing).
1G version: If power is correctly applied, a green LED will illuminate above
Monitor port A and B (the Power icon is indicated above it on the housing).
Both power inputs have their own numbered Power LED.
1.3.2 Network speed LEDs
Both versions have a network speed indicator. If a connection is active, the
LEDs above the Network ports A and B indicate if it is a 10 Mbit (right LED of
Network port B), a 100 Mbit (left LED of Network port A) or 1Gconnection (both
LEDs).
If only one of the two Network ports is connected, the LEDS blink at 0.5 Hz to
indicate that there is no connection.
1.3.3 Link and Activity LEDs
The Monitor ports have one LED each (marked on the housing) to indicate
Activity and Link. Activity LED A lights up when a signal is received at port
A, LED B for a signal received at port B. When there is no connection on both
ports, the Activity LEDs stay off.
1.4 Installation
Install the EtherMIRROR between the PLC and the first switch in the network
using Cat5 or better cable. Use the two right connections, marked as ‘Network
A and B’.
Connect an Ether TAP on the two left connections marked ‘Monitor A and B’. See
Figure 2.
1.5 Additional notes for EtherMIRROR 1G
If you want to monitor 1 Gbit networks, it is required to use 8-wire Cat5E
Ethernet cable. 4-wire cable will not build a 1 Gbit connection. Also, an
Ether TAP 1G is required.
10 or 100 Mbit connections can be monitored with 4-wire cables by the 1G
version without any problem.
