1. General Information
The C1-1G tap avoids downtime in your 10/100/1000Base-T
networks. Once in place it allows you to monitor full and half
duplex communication and move test equipment without
breaking the circuit. It mirrors any packet size, bad CRC,VLAN traffic, sees both ends of full-duplex links.
It is a single port 10/100/1000Base-T Tap for half/full duplex
Ethernet networks.
The C1-1G tap has no IP address and is invisible to the network. It is fault tolerant, bypasses data on power failure, themonitor ports are none-intrusive to the network.

2. Functional description
2.1 Interface connectors
The C1-1G Tap has 4 RJ45 ports. Network ports A and B areconnected to the network, Monitor ports A and B are connected to the analyzer.
2.2 Activity/Link
Four LEDs indicate Activity and Link for each of the four ports.
Link LED lights up when a link is detected at the port. Activity
LED blinks when a signal is detected on one of the ports.
2.3 Speed LEDs
Two LEDs indicate mutual speed at 10/100/1000Mbps.
2.4 Link redundancy
The disconnection of one network port will disconnect all ports
until the next connection of the two network ports.

2.5 PowerThe C1-1G tap is redundant powered from the back. Usingredundant powering guarantees a maximum uptime off themonitor ports. Two LEDs show the presence of power.

To connect the 48V DC power to the TAP, do the following:
1. Ensure the DC 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 onthe TAP. The connection is located on the bottom of theconnector. 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 is located on the bottom of the connector. Tighten the screw located on the front of the connector toattach the cable.
C. Connect the -48V wire to the V- terminal on the terminal
block. The connection is located 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.

2.6 Power Failure
When the Tap is not powered, network ports A and B are
hardware wired together and monitor ports are disabled.
2.7 Fast Failover (1G)
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. Fast Failover feature helps to reduce
this time by trying to keep the link up without renegotiation
during the power change event.
With Fast Failover, the network's path unavailability is between 30 and 300ms.
3. Installation

1. Power both network devices, do NOT power the TAP
Note: A powered TAP will always correct a wrong cable setup.
Connect the network using category 5e UTP cables.
a. If the two (2) network devices are of DTE and DCE type,use two (2) straight cables.
b. If the two (2) network devices are of the same type (2*DTEor 2*DCE) use one straight and one cross-over cable.
* The connected network devices show LINK (or Activity). If
there is no LINK, change one of the cables by an oppositetype.

2. When two devices are connected on the network ports, thetwo speed LEDs blink simultaneously to indicate the negotiation of the highest mutual Speed. When the connection isestablish, the Speed LEDs indicates the network speed: the left LED light for a 10Mb connection.
 the right LED light for a 100Mb connection.
 both LEDs light for a 1Gb connection.
If no mutual speed is detected, the two LEDs blink alternatively.
* Network activity is shown on the Activity LEDs of Network A
and Network B.
3. Connect the two Monitor Ports to the analyzer using
straight or cross-over CAT5e cables.
The Monitor Ports are at the speed of the network ports.
The Monitor Ports Link LEDs light when link is found.
* Activity received into NetworkA and NetworkB will be mirrored on the respective Monitor Ports and blink the ACTIVITY
LEDs.
The maximum distance between any of the connected
devices is 100 m.
