P1GXXAS
Portable Tap
Installation Guide
This portable network TAP series is ideal for 10/100/1000MB copper network
monitoring. The innovative design allows these TAPs to be easily installed into any
copper 10/100/1000MB network segment.
Once installed in your network the P1GXXAS network TAPs will enable you to
monitor your network segments quickly and effectively using a network analyzer,
security devices, or any monitoring appliance or tool. These 100/1000MB TAPs will
allow you to capture full-duplex traffic without dropping any packets or, in the
SPAN Mode the input traffic to be replicated to up to 3 monitor ports.

Installation Guide (cont)
To deploy the P1GXXAS Portable Tap into your network, simply:
Unpack the device and attach it to an optional rack mount bracket (sold separately)
Install the P1GCCAS assembly into any available 1U slot of a network rack and secure it with rack
mount screws.
Utilizing the DIP switches (located on the reverse side of the unit, next to the power input)
configure the P1GXXAS for the operating mode of your choice (see next page) Install network TAP
into the live network. THIS STEP NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH NO POWER CONNECTED TO THE TAP
Using standard Ethernet cables, connect ports [A] and [B] (Auto MDIX) of the P1GXXAS between
the two live network devices where monitoring is desired. Verify network traffic is flowing,
confirming that network cabling is correct.
Connect ports [C] and [D] (Auto MDIX) to the monitoring tools for traditional traffic monitoring
(SPAN mode may also be used for regenerating outputs).
Connect the power supply to the P1GXXAS and plug it in to an available power source.
Note: Other operating modes are available for monitoring and may be configured using the
provided DIP switches. Using SPAN or regeneration mode on fiber models may require both [A] and
[B] ports to be connected to obtain link on port [A] or [B].
The BPLED serves no purpose on this model.
Anytime the configuration switches are changed the user must remove and then re-apply power for
the changes to take effect.
