Step 2
Connect AC Power
Ensure the Tap is grounded before connecting power. Do the following to connect
and apply power to the AC powered tap:
1. Plug one of the supplied power cords to a power connector located at the rear
of the chassis. Plug the other end to a power source. See Figure 8.
2. For redundancy, plug the other power cord to the other connector. Plug the
other end to a source independent from the rst power source.
The second power supply is available to support the ow of trafc to the
monitoring device in the event that the rst power supply becomes
unavailable.
3. Verify the Power LEDs on the front illuminate.

Model TP-CU3-DC has screwless terminal blocks for DC power. Push in the orange
button to open the socket, insert the power wire, and release the button to clamp the
wire into the socket.
Model TP-CU3-ZD-DC has a two-piece, screw-type terminal blocks for DC power. You
can unplug half of the terminal block for convenience when connecting the power
wires. Just pull to unplug the removable part, and push it back in to reconnect it. To
connect the power wires, insert a wire into a socket and tighten the screw to hold it in
place.
Figure 9 - Two-piece DC terminal block on model TP-CU3-ZD-DC
Note: The symbols and both indicate safety ground, also called earth
or chassis ground. When attaching the DC power wires, always connect the safety
grounds rst; and when disconnecting the DC power wires, always disconnect the
safety grounds last.

Step 3
Congure the DIP Switches
The 8-position DIP switch located on the rear panel or on the side of the device sets
the communication parameters and battery connection as specied in the following
table.
Note: The settings apply to all ports on the Tap (except for Switch 1, Link Fault Detect,
which applies only to the Network Ports).
If you use xed settings, connected devices must match the settings you select for the
Tap. If you use Auto-negotiation ON, make sure the network devices connected to the
Tap are set to Auto-negotiation ON.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
• The Tap is shipped with switches 1 and 2 in the ON position (LFD and Auto-
negotiation active).
• If you are using a xed-speed setting, all devices connected to the Tap should
also be set to that same speed. Furthermore, you should set only one speed
switch to ON (up position). If more than one speed switch is set to ON, the Tap
uses the fastest speed.
• When the unit is shipped, dip switch 8 is set to the down position. After you
connect power, make sure the power is ON for 12 hours to fully charge the
backup battery. In the event of a power outage, the Zero Delay Tap can remain
powered for 3 to 5 hours with a fully charged battery.
• If you plan to store or power down this unit for longer than 2 hours, follow this
procedure:
Step 1 - Set the dip switch 8 to the up position.
Step 2 - Disconnect all power sources.
Step 3 - When the power sources have been disconnected, set dip
switch 8 to the down position.
Step 4 - Store the unit.
• When you redeploy the unit, ensure dip switch 8 is in the down position. Then
connect to the power source.

1. Connect Network Port A to the appropriate switch, server or router using one of
the supplied purple CAT5e cables.
2. Connect Network Port B to the appropriate switch, server or router using one of
the supplied purple CAT5e cables.
3. Verify that the Tap Network Ports are cabled in-line between two devices
4. Verify the link LEDs illuminate.
