10/100 12x3 Aggregation Tap Switch
10/100 12x3 Aggregation Tap Switch
Network Tap group: Copper Taps

The 10/100 12x3 Aggregation Tap Switch allows selectable monitoring of any one of 12 network streams. Each of the 12 network ports provides a fail-safe connection for network traffic. The network connection will not be interrupted or otherwise disrupted during a power failure or during the monitoring process. The tap has 3 separate outputs which can all be used at the same time. One standard dual output provides two separate streams, one for each side of the network being monitored. The aggregated outputs provide a single stream that merges both sides of the network port's traffic, thus reducing port usage on analyzers, IDS and IPS devices. A 32 Megabyte buffer is included to prevent loss during periods of heavy network utilization. Data speed conversion is also performed, allowing monitoring of 10 Mb/S networks with 100 Mb/S analyzers.

The network to be monitored is selected locally through the front panel pushbuttons or a serial port console and can also be selected remotely via a Telnet console, any Web browser or an SNMP manager. The serial and TCP/IP connections also allow diagnostic and management data to be viewed such as port connect speeds, activity and duplex settings. Automated time-sequenced stepping between ports can also be performed via the serial and TCP/IP connections.
A ZERO Delay feature also ensures no loss or interruption of network data if power to the Tap fails or when ports are switched.

Gigabit 8x2 Fiber Tap Switch
Gigabit 8x2 Fiber Tap Switch
Network Tap group: Fiber Taps

The Gigabit 8x2 Fiber Tap Switch allows uninterrupted pass-through of data over 62.5/125 multimode optical cable. This managed Tap Switch can browse and monitor any of up to 8 in-line networks while accurately copying the duplex signal (including all data and timing errors) to two transmit-only monitoring ports.

The network to be monitored is selected locally through the front panel pushbuttons or a serial port console and can also be selected remotely via a Telnet console, any Web browser or an SNMP manager. No proprietary software is required. The serial and TCP/IP connections also allow diagnostic and management data to be viewed such as port connect speeds, activity and other settings. Automated time-sequenced stepping between ports can also be performed via the serial and TCP/IP connections.

In addition this Tap comes with data reclocking, regeneration and media conversion features including multiple monitoring ports to provide the user with unprecedented flexibility for every Analyzer, IDS and Load Balancer monitoring application.
