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, 80/20 split passes
20% to the Analyzer.

the signal totally. Leave the dust caps on the device if not inuse. Mount back the dust caps if the Analyzer is taken away.
