P100CCA Series Portable Tap
To deploy the P100CCA Portable Tap into your network, simply:
- Unpack the device and attach it to the optional rack mount bracket (RMS1U sold separately)
- Install the P100CCA assembly into any available 1U slot of a network rack and secure it with rack mount screws
- Using one straight-through Ethernet cable and one crossover cable, connect ports [A] and [B] of the P100CCA between the two live network devices where monitoring is desired. Verify network traffic is flowing, confirming that network cabling is correct
- Connect ports [C] and [D] to the monitoring tools for aggregated or combined network monitoring
- Connect the power supply to the P100CCA and plug it into an available power source
- Note: One straight-through and one crossover cable must be used when connecting live network ports. This tap is deployed into 100Mbps networks. Monitor ports are always 1Gbps, Auto Duplex, and Auto MDI/MDIX.
LNK or L (Link/Activity): Solid when the link is achieved and flashes
when Ethernet activity is detected on a particular interface.
Aggregation: An operating mode that combines data and allows monitoring
of complete traffic flows on one or more tap interfaces.
Passive: During power state changes, live network traffic remains
uninterrupted, keeping critical networks online, and data flowing.
