• InformationCard
TheUSR4503AggregationTapwilltapasinglenetworklinkandmakecopiesoftraffic.Thesecopiescanbekeptseparateandsentouttwo
ports,ortheycanbecombinedtoallowfullduplexmonitoringouteachport.Inourexamplebelow,weshowatappedconnectionbetween
afirewallandrouter.
Installation
TheUSR4503NetworkportsAandBareinsertedbetweentwodirectlyconnectednetworkdevices(i.e.firewallandrouter).Trafficwillflow
betweenthesenetworkportsevenifthetapisnowpowered.
• ConnectyourmonitoringdevicetoTAP(Monitor)portA.ThisportwilltransmitincomingtrafficonNetworkPortA,oracombinationof
bothNetworkports.
• ConnectyourmonitoringdevicetoTAP(Monitor)portB.ThisportwilltransmitincomingtrafficonNetworkportB,oracombinationof
bothNetworkports.
Switch Settings
Aconvenientswitchonthebackofthetapcanbeusedtotoggleaggregation
onoroff.Whensetto“NON,”MonitorportAwillonlytransmitacopyofthe
recievedtrafficonNetworkportA,andMonitorportBwillonlytransmitacopy
ofrecievedtrafficonNetworkportB.
Whenthedeviceissetto“AGG”mode,thetapcombinestrafficfromboth
NetworkportAandNetworkportBandtransmitsanaggregatedcopyfrom
eachmonitorport.
Additionalfeatures
• TheUSR4503supportsdualredundantpowersupplies.Onepowersupplyisprovided,asecondcanbesourcedfromUSRobotics.When
usedwithtwopowersuppliesthetapwillremainpoweredevenifonepowersupplyfails.Itisrecommendedthateachpowersupplyis
connectedtoasepartecircuitbreakertominimizetheriskofpowerloss.
• IfpowerislostontheUSR4503,internalrelaysonthenetworkportswillcloseandallowtraffictocontinuetopassthrough.Monitorports
willnottransmittrafficwhilethedeviceispoweredoff.
• TheURS4503supportspassingPower-Over-Ethernet(PoE)overthenetworkports.
• Supportsframesizesupto10,240bytes

USR4503 - Installation Guide
Installation Notes:
• BeforesettingtheUSR4503toaggregationmode,itisimportanttoconsiderthelinkutilizationonthenetworklinks.Ifthecombined
bidirectionaltrafficoverthenetworkportsexceedsthespeedofthemonitoringdevices,lossofthetrafficthroughthemonitoringports
willoccur.
• AllportsontheUSR4503aresetoAUTOspeednegotiation.Iftheseportsareconnectedtodeviceswithmanualspeedsettings,confirm
thatthedevicesontheeithersideofthetapareatthesamespeed.ForoptimalresultssetalldevicestoAUTOspeednegotiation.
• Itisrecommendedthattheendpointdevicesconnectedtoeachnetworkportarecapableofthesamemaximumspeed.Oversubscription
mayoccurifthespeedsaremismatched.Ifthedevicelosespowerandtheenddevicesaresettodifferentspeeds,lossoftrafficmayoccur.
• MDI-Xmayneedtobeturnedoffonsomsenetworkdevicesconnectedtothetapforpropercommunication.
• Powersuppliesshouldbeconnectedtooutletswithdifferentcircuitbreakerstomaintainmaximumuptime.
• Themaximumcablelengthbetweennetworkdevices(notincludingthetap)shouldbe90m
• RackmountUSR4500-RMKisavailableseparatelytomount3unitshorizontally.
