8x1 Regeneration Taps Introduction Net Optics 8x1 Regeneration Taps solve the key physical layer challenges of multi-device network monitoring. For a better picture of network health, these Taps connect up to eight different network management and security devices at any single network location or two switch Span ports.
8x1 Regeneration Taps Inline or Span Ports Models are available for either inline or Span deployments. Inline models tap one link and create eight copies of the traffic traveling in one direction on the link, plus eight copies of the traffic traveling in the other direction. A monitoring tool with two NICs has visibility of the full duplex traffic at full link bandwidth.

8x1 Regeneration Taps Connecting Power Use the following procedures to safely connect AC or DC power to the unit. Caution:_ ____________________________________________________________ For AC models, use the AC power cords supplied with the product. If you use other AC power cords, they should have a wire gauge of at least 20 and a 230VAC 1A rating. Be sure to use a three-prong cords and connect them to sockets with good earth grounds. For DC models, you must supply your own power cables.
8x1 Regeneration Taps To connect DC input power on DC models: 1. If you have not already done so, unpack the Regeneration Tap and verify that you have appropriate DC power cables. You also need a Phillips screwdriver to complete the installation. 2. If present, remove the protective covers from the DC power terminal blocks. 3. Connect an earth ground lead to the terminal labeled with the ground symbol ( ), which is the left-most terminal, on both DC power terminal blocks on the rear of the chassis.
8x1 Regeneration Taps Connecting to the Network 1. Connect Network Port A to the appropriate switch Network or Span port using a an appropriate cable. 2. Connect Network Port B to the appropriate switch Network or Span port using an appropriate cable. 3. Check the Link and Activity LEDs to verify that the Regeneration Tap is receiving traffic into the Network ports. For inline models, verify that traffic is passing between the devices on both sides of the Regeneration Tap.
8x1 Regeneration Taps Connecting to the Monitoring Devices 1. If you have a fiber model, install the appropriate SFP or SFP+ transceiver modules in the Monitor ports. (You need to install modules only in ports to which you will be connecting monitoring tools). Push each module in until you hear a click and see the SFP Present LED above the port illuminate. 2. Connect any Monitor A port to the appropriate monitoring device using an appropriate cable.
