5 Hardware Installation
This section describes the SS-1200-S, SS-2200-S and SS-4200-S series hardware installation at
the network site of your choice.
For specific applications see the 'Application ' section.
5.1 TAP Connection
This section will focus on the TAP connection(s) of the typical series hardware installation.
5.1.1 Copper SS-1200BT-S and SS-2200BT-S series
1. This section describes the SS-1200BT-S or SS-2200BT-S copper TAP connection(s) of the
configurable series hardware installation.
WARNING: The copper TAP port is bidirectional Tx/Rx path sensitive. PRIOR TO POWERING
THE TAP, both end-device LINK LEDs must indicate “LINK to ensure correct power fault
tolerant tap functionality during loss of power.
WARNING: 100 meters must not be exceeded between CAT 5E end-points.
IMPORTANT: All BT taps can be configured to have traffic, for example TCP resets, injected from
Any-to-Any ports.
Step 1. Connect one of the copper network cables to a RJ45 TAP (SS-1200BT-S series) or TAP 1
(SS-2200BT-S series) port socket.
Step 2. Connect the other copper network cable to the other RJ45 TAP (SS-1200BT-S series) or
TAP 1 (SS-2200BT-S series) port socket.
Step 3. End-device LINK LEDs must indicate “LINK PRIOR TO POWERING THE TAP to
ensure correct power fault tolerant tap functionality during loss of power. IfLINK does not exist,
the network connection is backwards. Reverse TAP (SS-1200BT-S series) or TAP 1 (SS-2200BT-
S series) port socket connections and “LINK will be established.
Step 4. Repeat Step 1., Step 2. and Step 3. to connect TAP 2 of the SS-2200BT-S series to
another network.
