The portable/rack-mount network TAP is ideal for network monitoring and troubleshooting. It can be easily
installed into any 100/1000M copper network segment. Once installed, the P1GCCBPv2 will enable you to connect
monitoring probe to troubleshoot and analyze your network segments without dropping any packets.
Configuration DIP switches on the back allow easy setting the TAP into Breakout, Aggregation on Regeneration

●Using standard Ethernet cables, connect ports [A] and [B] (Auto MDIX) of the P1GCCBPv2 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] (Auto MDIX) to the monitoring tools for traditional traffic monitoring (SPAN
mode may also be used for regenerating outputs).

LED Labeling
LFP LEDs
LNK LEDs
BP LEDs
When TAP is in LFP mode an amber LED on
port A or port B means the TAP is not linking
with the device connected to that port and has
powered down the other Network port.
When lit indicates Link is
established, when blinking,
indicates data activity.
