pins, and automatically connect them correctly. All 1000BaseT ports support
this feature, as do many 10/100BaseT ports on newer equipment.
The Gig Zero Delay Taps and 10/100/1000BaseT Taps support Automatic
MDI/MDI-X Conguration on all of its ports. However, when the Tap does
not have power, it passively connects the two network ports so the link
remains active. This passive connection is made straight-through. Therefore,
if both of the devices connected to the Tap network ports are 10/100BaseT
devices that do not support Automatic MDI/MDI-X Conguration, then the
positions of the transmit and receive pins cannot be detected automatically,
and straight through or crossover cables are required (as specied in the previ-
ous list) in order to maintain a successful link.
Connecting to the Network
To connect the Tap to the Network link:
1. Connect Network Port A to the appropriate switch, server or router using a
CAT5e cable.
2. Connect Network Port B to the appropriate switch, server or router using a
CAT5e cable.
3. Verify that the Tap Network Ports are cabled in-line between two devices.
