Breakout Network TAP | M1GCCB
M1GCCB Quick Start Guide
The Modular network TAP is ideal for 10/100/1000MB copper network monitoring. The innovative design
allows this TAP to be easily installed into any copper 10/100/1000 network segment. Once installed in
your network the 10/100/1000 network TAP will enable you to monitor your network segments quickly and
effectively using a network analyzer, security devices, or any monitoring tool. This 10/100/1000 copper
TAP allows you to capture full-duplex traffic without dropping any packets.
Traffic Flow
The copper 10/100/1000 copper taps provide a copy of the directional traffic out each monitoring port.
Monitor Port C provides you a copy of the A -> B traffic
Monitor Port D provides you a copy of the B -> A traffic

Definitions
Synchronization Mode: DIP Switch 1 and 2 in OFF position. When in Synchronization Mode, all ports of
the M1GCCB TAP are Auto MDI/MDIX, Auto Speed and Auto Duplex automatically. The TAP will
synchronize to determine the highest supported network speed, drop link across all ports, and then only
advertise and link to the highest supported common speed on all ports. Places the TAP in full auto mode.
1G, 100M or 10M Speed Mode: (See table for Switch positions) When one of the Speed Settings are
selected then you have the option to select the Duplex (AUTO or FULL) and whether to have LFP turned
on or not.
Link Failure Propagation (LFP): Used mostly for HA designed networks. It can sense a network failure
and reflect the failure to the other side of the network allowing the network s failover mechanism to switch
over to the secondary network path.
Duplex: AUTO setting (Switch 3 in ON position default) lets the port negotiate the duplex mode with the
link pair (only in copper connections).
FULL setting forces the link to full duplex mode
Breakout: An operating mode that allows monitoring of separate traffic streams, one for each direction of
network traffic.
FailSafe: On power loss, live network tap ports reestablish link with each other, resuming traffic flow
between critical network devices.

LED Labeling
When in the Synchronization Mode the SP LEDs will show you what speed has been synchronized for the
link. Below is a diagram and chart showing the LED operations.
SP (Speed): When in Sync Mode only, indicates the highest established common speed across all ports
of a tap. LED s indicate the following established speeds: [1st SP 1G] – [2nd SP 100M] – [3rd SP 10M] –
[4th SP Negotiating]
LNK (Link/Activity): Solid when link is achieved and flashes when Ethernet activity is detected on a
particular interface.
