HST-3000 Ethernet Testing User’s Guide
To monitor traffic in a single direction when the network is in
service, you must connect the HST to the circuit via a splitter
or a mirror port on the switch. Figure 13 illustrates a splitter
connection.
If you want to monitor full duplex 1 Gigabit Ethernet or elec-
trical Ethernet traffic from both directions, you can use the two
ports provided on the HST to pass traffic through your unit.
