2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Model 3/9 HDX Multi-Drop Data Monitoring Tapallows you

to monitor data line activity in half-duplex applications without tying up
valuable oscilloscopes or protocol analyzers. Use it to tap into
industrial control or other multi-point polling applications. All you need
is a terminal running monitoring software.

Two of Model 3/9 HDX’s three DB-9 connectors are wired

straight-

through

with all 9 pins. The Tap connector’s OR gate circuitry
combines TD or RD on to a single line to allow monitoring of both
signals. Available in all gender combinations, Model 3/9 HDX is a must
for a network technician’s toolbox.
