1.1 Interface Connectors
The C1-1G-RG2 TAP features 6 RJ45 ports. Network ports A and B are connected to the
network, monitor ports A1, A2, B1, and B2 are connected to the analyzer.
1.2 Link / Activity
Six LEDs (Link/Tx) indicate Activity and Link for each of the six ports. The LEDs light up
when a link is detected on the port. The LEDs blink when traic activity is detected on the
port.
1.3 Speed LEDs
Two LEDs indicate the speed at which the network link is currently operating at. If only the
left LED is on, the link is operating at 10 Mbps. If only the right LED is on, the link is operating
at 100 Mbps. If both LEDs are on, the link is operating at 1 Gbps.
1.4 Link Failure Propagation
Profitap Gigabit Copper TAPs transmit link failure errors between ports, allowing the
network to activate a redundant path, while the TAP stays available for autonegotiation. LFP
ensures less downtime, and is essential for high availability networks.

1.5 Power
The C1-1G-RG2 TAP can use redundant powering, guaranteeing continued operation in
case power from one of the power inputs were to become unavailable. Two LEDs show the
presence of power.
1.6 Power Failure
When the TAP becomes unpowered, it activates its bypass circuits, connecting network
ports A and B together. Monitor ports are disabled when the TAP is unpowered.
1.6.1 Fast Failover (1G)
When a power transition event occurs, the network devices renegotiate the link. This
operation can take up to 5 seconds depending on network configuration and can cause
a network topology reconfiguration. The Fast Failover feature helps to reduce this time by
trying to keep the link up without renegotiation during the power change event.
With Fast Failover, the network path unavailability lasts between 30 and 300 ms.

1. Power both network devices. Do NOT power the TAP. Connect the network devices to
the TAP using category 5e UTP cables.
• If one of the network devices is of DTE type, and the other one of DCE type, use
straight cables.
• If both network devices are of the same type (both DTE or both DCE) use one
straight cable and one cross-over cable.
The connected network devices should show a link, or traic activity. If there is no link,
change one of the cables by a cable of opposite type.
2. Power the TAP. If two network devices are connected on the network ports, the
Speed LEDs blink to indicate the negotiation of the highest mutual speed. When the
connection is established, the Speed LEDs indicate the network speed:
• Left LED only for 10 Mbps
• Right LED only for 100 Mbps
• Both LEDs for 1 Gbps
If no mutual speed is detected, the two Speed LEDs blink alternatively.
Network activity is shown by the Link/Tx LEDs of Network A and Network B.
3. Connect the Monitor ports to the analyzer using straight or cross-over CAT5e cables.
The Monitor ports operate at the same speed as the Network ports.
The Monitor ports’ Link/Tx LEDs are on when a link is found.
Traic received by Network A and Network B will be mirrored to Monitor A and
Monitor B respectively, and the Link/Tx LEDs will blink as traic passes through.
The maximum distance between any of the connected devices is 100 meters.
