P1GCCB Datasheet / Quickstart Guide
P1GCCB Tap Overview
The portable/rack-mount Breakout TAP is ideal for network monitoring and troubleshooting. It can be easily
installed into any copper 10/100/1000M. Once installed, the P1GCCB will enable you to connect monitoring probe to
troubleshoot and analyze your network segments without dropping any packets.
Quickstart
To deploy the P1GCCB Portable Tap into your network, simply:
●Unpack the network TAP and attach it to the optional rack mount bracket (sold separately).
●Configure DIP switches located on the back of the TAP next to the power supply.
●Install network TAP into the live network (this needs to be done with no power connected to the TAP).
●Using two straight through Ethernet cables, connect ports [A] and [B] of the P1GCCB between the two
live network devices where monitoring is desired. Again, with NO POWER to the TAP verify network traffic
is flowing. Traffic will flow with no power to the tap.
●If traffic does not flow, then we need to verify network speeds and duplexing. In 10M and 100M
environments, one straight through cable and one crossover cable may be required.
●Verify live network is up and running.
●Power up the TAP.
●Connect ports [C] and [D] of the P1GCCB to the monitoring tools for directional network monitoring.
