1. General Information.
The 1GTX tap avoids downtime in your 10/100/1000Base-T
networks. Once in place it allows you to monitor full and half
duplex communication and move test equipment without
breaking the circuit. It mirrors any packet size, bad CRC,
VLAN traffic, sees both ends of full-duplex links.
It is a single port 10/100/1000Base-T Tap for half/full duplex
Ethernet networks. The “no package loss” and redundant
power feature makes it ideal for security applications.
The 1GTX tap has no IP address and is invisible to the net-
work. It is fault tolerant, bypasses data on power failure, the
monitor ports are none-intrusive to the network.

2. Functional description
2.1 Interface connectors
The 1GTX Tap has 4 RJ45 ports. Network ports A and B are
connected to the network, Monitor ports A and B are con-
nected to the analyzer.
2.2 Activity/Link
Four LEDs indicate Activity and Link for each of the four ports.
Link LED lights up when a link is detected at the port. Activity
LED blinks when a signal is detected on one of the ports.
2.3 Speed LEDs
Two LEDs indicate mutual speed at 10/100/1000Mbps.
2.4 Link redundancy
The disconnection of one network port will disconnect all ports
until the next connection of the two network ports.
2.5 Power
The 1GTX tap is redundant powered from the back. The
external power can be chained as each power has two sock-
ets. Using redundant powering guarantees a maximum up-
time off the monitor ports. Two LEDs show the presence of
power.
2.6 Power Failure
The uninterrupted link in the network guarantees permanent
network connectivity, also when power fails. No data is
passed to the TAP ports at power failure. Network ports A and
B are hardware wired together when the Tap is not powered.

3. Installation
1. Power both network devices, do NOT power the TAP
Note: A powered TAP will always correct a wrong cable setup.
Connect the network using category 5e UTP cables.
a. If the two (2) network devices are of DTE and DCE type, use two (2)
straight cables.
b. If the two (2) network devices are of the same type (2*DTE or 2*DCE)
use one straight and one cross-over cable.
* The connected network devices show LINK (or Activity). If there is no
LINK, change one of the cables by an opposite type.
2. When two devices are connected on the network ports, the two speed
LEDs blink simultaneously to indicate the negotiation of the highest
mutual Speed. When the connection is establish, the Speed LEDs
indicates the network speed:
♦ the left LED light for a 10Mb connection.
♦ the right LED light for a 100Mb connection.
♦ both LEDs light for a Gb connection.
If no mutual speed is detected, the two LEDs blink alternatively.
* Network activity is shown on the Activity LEDs of NetworkA and Net-
workB.
3. Connect the two Monitor Ports to the analyzer using straight or cross-
over CAT5e cables.
The Monitor Ports are at the speed of the network ports.
The Monitor Ports Link LEDs light when link is found.
* Activity received into NetworkA and NetworkB will be mirrored on the
respective Monitor Ports and blink the ACTIVITY LEDs.
