1.1 Interface Connectors
C1-1G TAPs feature 4 RJ45 ports. Network ports A and B are connected to the network,
monitor ports A and B are connected to the analyzer.

1.2 Link / Activity
Four LEDs (Link/Tx) indicate Activity and Link for each of the four ports. The LEDs light up
when a link is detected on the port. The LEDs blink when traffic activity is detected on theport.

1.3 Speed LEDs
Two LEDs indicate the speed at which the network link is currently operating at. If only theleft LED is on, the link is operating at 10 Mbps. If only the right LED is on, the link is operating
at 100 Mbps. If both LEDs are on, the link is operating at 1 Gbps.

1.4 Link Failure Propagation
Profitap Gigabit Copper TAPs transmit link failure errors between ports, allowing thenetwork to activate a redundant path, while the TAP stays available for autonegotiation. LFPensures less downtime, and is essential for high availability networks.

11.5 Power
C1-1G TAPs can use redundant powering, guaranteeing continued operation in case powerfrom one of the power inputs were to become unavailable. Two LEDs show the presence ofpower.

To connect the -48 VDC power to the TAP, do the following:

1. Ensure the DC terminal block connectors are plugged into the TAP.
2. Connect the wires to the power supply in this order:
A. Connect the ground wire to the ground connection on the TAP. The connection islocated on the bottom of the connector. Tighten the screw located on the front of
the connector to attach the cable.
B. Connect the 0V wire to the V+ terminal on the terminal block. The connection islocated on the bottom of the connector. Tighten the screw located on the front of
the connector to attach the cable.
C. Connect the -48V wire to the V- terminal on the terminal block. The connection islocated on the bottom of the connector. Tighten the screw located on the front of
the connector to attach the cable.

3. For redundant power, repeat steps 1 and 2 using the second power supply and cables.
21.6 Power Failure
When the TAP becomes unpowered, it activates its bypass circuits, connecting network
ports A and B together. Monitor ports are disabled when the TAP is unpowered.

1.6.1 Fast Failover (C1P-1G, C1R-1G, C1D-1G, C1R-1G-48V)
When a power transition event occurs, the network devices renegotiate the link. This
operation can take up to 5 seconds depending on network configuration and can cause
a network topology reconfiguration. The Fast Failover feature helps to reduce this time bytrying to keep the link up without renegotiation during the power change event.
With Fast Failover, the network path unavailability lasts between 30 and 300 ms.

1.6.2 Battery Failover (C1R-1G-BAT)
When a power transition event occurs, the battery enables the network link to stay up
without interruption, preventing any risk of topology reconfiguration, and avoiding any lossof packets.

1.7 Battery (C1R-1G-BAT)
BATT LED states:
Steady Green: Battery Charging (1.7.1)
Steady Orange: Battery Checking / Charging (1.7.1)
Blink Green: Battery Discharging (1.7.2)
Blink Orange: Battery Discharging (1.7.2)
		or Maintenance (1.7.3)
Steady Red: Battery life suboptimal. Replace the battery for optimal performance. (1.7.4.2)
Off: No Battery (1.7.4.1)

1.7.1 Charging
Battery charging is indicated by a steady orange state on the BATT LED. This LED state also
indicates a maintenance operation (1.7.3). The BATT LED is steady green when the battery is
fully charged. The battery takes about 2 hours to charge.
Overcharging protections:••••Temperature Limit: Battery temperature over 55°C
Voltage Limit: Battery voltage over 9V
ΔT: Battery temperature increasing too quickly-ΔV: Battery voltage decreasing too quickly

If any of these conditions occurs, the charge is interrupted.

1.7.2 Discharging
During battery discharge, the BATT LED blinks:••

Green: when the remaining capacity is over 50%
Orange: when the remaining capacity is under 50%

Overdischarging protection:
The battery controller shuts down the TAP if the battery voltage goes below 6.5V.

1.7.3 MaintenanceCold battery
If the battery’s temperature is below 10°C, the TAP slowly heats up the battery (with mediumrate charging) to prevent potential thermal shock damage.
Deep discharge recovery
If the battery’s voltage is too low, the TAP charges the battery at medium rate, until thevoltage reaches an appropriate level.

41.7.4 Battery Error
No battery
The BATT LED is off if the battery is invalid or not present.
Battery life suboptimal
If the battery takes less than 1 hour to discharge (measured at a full discharge cycle), theBATT LED turns red after the reboot. The TAP keeps that state until the battery is replaced. In
this error state, the TAP and battery still operate normally.
Replace the battery to ensure optimal performance.
Refer to the Battery replacement chapter (1.7.6).

1.7.5 TAP
The Battery TAP is similar to other C1-1G TAPs. It provides the same features and is based on
the same hardware and software.

1.7.6 Battery Replacement
THE TAP MUST BE POWERED ON DURING THIS OPERATION.

1. Remove the battery drawer screw at the back of the TAP

52. Move drawer to the right
3. Pull drawer out of the TAP

4. Pull connector out of the TAP

65. Disconnect the battery

6. Install the new battery by following these steps in the reverse order7

1.7.7 Switch the TAP off
In cases in which the TAP needs to be powered off completely (e.g. for transportation), theprocedure is as follows:

1. Power the TAP on
2. Take the battery out and disconnect it (see chapter 1.7.6 Battery replacement)
3. Disconnect the power supply
4. Connect the battery
5. Put the battery back in the TAP

2. INSTALLATION
1. Power both network devices. Do NOT power the TAP. Connect the network devices tothe TAP using category 5e UTP cables.
••If one of the network devices is of DTE type, and the other one of DCE type, usestraight cables.
If both network devices are of the same type (both DTE or both DCE) use one
straight cable and one cross-over cable.

The connected network devices should show a link, or traffic activity. If there is no link,change one of the cables by a cable of opposite type.

2. Power the TAP. If two network devices are connected on the network ports, theSpeed LEDs blink to indicate the negotiation of the highest mutual speed. When theconnection is established, the Speed LEDs indicate the network speed:• Left LED only for 10 Mbps
• Right LED only for 100 Mbps
• Both LEDs for 1 Gbps
If no mutual speed is detected, the two Speed LEDs blink alternatively.
Network activity is shown by the Link/Tx LEDs of Network A and Network B.

3. Connect the Monitor ports to the analyzer using straight or cross-over CAT5e cables.
The Monitor ports operate at the same speed as the Network ports.
The Monitor ports’ Link/Tx LEDs are on when a link is found.
Traffic received by Network A and Network B will be mirrored to Monitor A andMonitor B respectively, and the Link/Tx LEDs will blink as traffic passes through.
The maximum distance between any of the connected devices is 100 meters.
