2. Installation

Connect the Fiber Optic Tap as shown above.
The tap works in Full Duplex as well as Half Duplex Mode.
The information passes from one network device to the other,
the split rate decides how much is passed to the analyzer:
50/50 split passes 50% to the analyzer, while 80/20 split
passes 20% to the analyzer.

Note:Dirt increases signal loss and can in certain cases block thesignal totally. The dust caps should be put on the device when
not in use. Mount back the dust caps if the analyzer is takenaway.
