C1P-100

Portable model

1. General Information
C1-100 tap avoids downtime in your 10/100BaseT networks.
Once in place it enables you to monitor full and half duplex
communication and move test equipment without breaking thecircuit. It mirrors any packet size, bad CRC, VLAN traffic, sees
both ends of full-duplex links.
It is a single port 10BaseT/100BaseTX Tap for half/full duplex
Ethernet networks. The “no package loss” and redundant
power feature makes it ideal for security applications.
C1-100 tap is invisible to the network. It is fault tolerant, bypasses data on power failure, the monitor (TAP) ports arenone-intrusive to the network.

2. Functional description
2.1 Interface connectors
It has 4 RJ45 ports, port A and B are connected to the network, TAP ports A and B are connected to the analyzer.
Network ports A and B are hardware wired together.
2.2 Activity/Link
Two LEDS indicate Activity in 10Mb and Link in 100Mb speed.
Activity LED A lights up when a signal is received at port A,
LED B for a signal received at port B. The brightness of the
Activity LED show signal strength.
2.3 Power
C1-100 tap is redundant powered from the back. Using redundant powering guarantees a maximum uptime off the tap/
monitor ports. Two LEDs show the presence of power.

2.4 Power Failure
Uninterrupted link in the network guarantees permanent
network connectivity, also when power fails. Redundant powering guarantees maximum uptime of the monitor ports. No
data is passed to the TAP ports at power failure.

3. Installationa.
Power the unit using the 12V PSU, the Power LED lights
b. Connect it into the network using Category 5 UTP cables.
Network Port A : to DCE by straight Cable / to DTE by cross-over cable.
Network Port B : to DTE by straight Cable / to DCE by cross-over cable.
TAP port A and B : to analyzer through straight cables (pins 3/6 active).
The maximum distance between any of the connected devices is 90mtr.
TAP port A mirrors data received in Port A, TAP port B mirrors data
received in Port B.
