The digital T1/E1 kit includes:
Q One T1/E1 dual link TAP
Q One T1/E1 WAN analyzer cable
Q Two T1/E1 Ethernet cables
1 If you have a GigaStor Expandable, see “Connecting the GigaStor
Expandable to the expansion units” on page 52 for details about
connecting them. After connecting them, continue with step 2.
2 Connect the TAP to the GigaStor using the T1/E1 WAN analyzer
cable.
3 From your T1/E1 cable that connects the DCE to your CSU/
DSU, unplug the CSU/DSU end and plug it into the Link 1 IN
port on the TAP.
4 Using one of the supplied T1/E1 Ethernet cables, connect the
Link 1 OUT port of the TAP to the CSU/DSU.
5 If you have a second T1 you want to monitor, repeat step 3 and
step 4 using Link 2.
6 Use the supplied Ethernet cable to connect the network interface
card in the GigaStor to the network.
