1. NuTAP-311 OVERVIEW
1.1. General Description of NuTAP-311
NuTAP-311 is a portable network TAP device.
Embedded with 2 Network Ports and 2 Monitor Ports,
NuTAP-311 can monitor and redirect any data
streams flow through it.
Network TAP is a hardware device/software that
allows monitoring data flows in a network
environment dynamically without any interference.
As mentioned above, NuTAP-311 is embedded with 2
Network Ports and is capable of monitoring all data
flows between two network points. All data traffic
flows between NuTAP-311’s Network Port A0 and A1 can be brought out for further analysis and research
dynamically and without intervening network environment.
NuTAP-311 is embedded with 4 Configuration Buttons and 4 Operation Buttons, allowing users to
configure test criteria and make NuTAP-311 system settings. Also, the LCD screen located on
NuTAP-311’s front panel makes it easy to view test statistics and system information easily.
Also, you can configure test criteria and make NuTAP-311 system settings with Web Browser (by
connecting NuTAP-311’s Management Port to a network where a PC is located), HyperTerminal (by
connecting NuTAP-311’s Console Port to PC’s Serial Port via a RJ45-to-USB cable), and NuSet-MiniTAP
(by connecting NuTAP-311’s Mini-USB Port with PC’s USB Port).
NuTAP-311 is a compact, lightweight, and highly cost-effective device that provides 3 different filters for
users to choose: Forwarding Filter, Re-Direct Filter, and Capture Criteria. All these filters are powered by
Xtramus SDFR (Self-Discover Filtering Rules), which makes packet capturing/filtering over Ethernet easy
and convenient.
