4 Key Features Get total traffic visibility with the 10/100BaseT Taps on critical network links. These Taps support passive monitoring of 10/100 links at 10 or 1000 Mbps, and 10/100 links at 10 or 100 Mbps. Passive means that network traffic continues to flow even when the Tap does not have any power. These devices are ideal when a passive Tap is required for use with a variety of copper monitoring devices. (The link speed and the monitoring device speed must be the same; the Tap does not perform data rate conversion.) True Zero Delay The innovative design of the Net Optics 10/100BaseT Taps ensures zero impact on network traffic when the Tap experiences a power on or power off event. Highly sensitive network locations can improve monitoring performance with the innovative features of the 10/100BaseT Taps. If power is lost to other 10/100/1000 taps, the connected devices may introduce delays as they detect the power loss and try to re-establish their link. Net Optics pioneering design ensures that any loss of power to the Tap is transparent to the network, and does not affect the flow of traffic through the Tap completely eliminating packet delay and loss as potential security issues. Simply Plug It In Full-duplex monitoring is a snap when each side of the signal is sent to a separate NIC on the monitoring device. All network and monitoring cables necessary for plug-andplay deployment are included with the Tap. 4

5 Security and Visibility Without an IP address, monitoring devices are isolated from the network, dramatically reducing their exposure to attacks. However, the monitoring device connected to the Tap still sees all full-duplex traffic as if it were in-line, including Layer 1 and Layer 2 errors. Reliability For extra uptime protection, the TP-CU 10/100 BaseT Taps offer redundant power connections. Should the primary power source fail, the Tap automatically switches to the backup power source. Power LEDs on the front of the Tap indicate the current power source.

6 TP-CU 10/100 Tap Content This guide provides the initial steps to set up and configure the TP-CU 10/100 Tap. Carefully unpack the Tap and check for damaged or missing parts. 2 Power cords and power supplies, 12VDC, 1.5A, 2.5mm, IEC-C13 Retainer clips 2 Cables, 3 meter, RJ45, CAT 5e 4-pair (purple) 2 Cables, 3 meter, RJ45, CAT 5e 4-pair (green) Crossover Registration card You may have also ordered a panel for rack mounting and an extended warranty. Carefully check the packing slip against parts received. If any part is missing or damaged, contact the Ixia Technical Assistance Center (TACS) immediately. Contact details are at the back of this guide. Warning! Use only the power supplies provided with this product. Use of other power supplies may result in a safety hazard that could cause damage or injury. 6

8 Step 1 Rack Mount the Taps If you ordered the rack mounting panel, do the following: 1. Remove the panel and screws from the shipping bag. 2. Screw the panel onto the rack. 3. Slide the switches in place in the rack. See Figure 3. See Figure 4 if you ordered the 12-Slot (RK-12V2) version. 4. Fasten the switches in place with the Phillips screws. Figure 3-1U Version 8

10 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 For redundancy, plug the other power cord to the other connector. Plug the other end to a source independent from the first power source. The second power supply is available to support the flow of traffic to the monitoring device in the event that the first power supply becomes unavailable.

11 Step 3 Connect to the Network To connect the Tap to the Network: 1. Connect Network Port A to the appropriate switch, server or router using a CAT5e cable. 2. Connect Network Port B to the appropriate switch, server or router using a CAT5e cable. 3. Verify that the Tap Network Ports are cabled in-line between two devices.

If connecting to a Router or NIC, use a CAT5 RJ45 straight-through cable (purple). In other words, the 10/100BaseT Tap acts as crossover connection itself. 11

12 Step 4 Connect to the Monitoring Device To connect the Tap to the monitoring devices: 1. Connect Monitor Port A to the appropriate port on the monitoring device with a straight-through CAT5e cable. This cable sends to the monitoring device a copy of all of the traffic being received by Network Port A. 2. Connect Monitor Port B to the appropriate port on the monitoring device with a straight-through CAT5e cable. This cable sends to the monitoring device a copy of all of the traffic being received by Network Port B.
