P1GCCB Datasheet / Quickstart Guide
P1GCCB Tap Overview
The portable/rack-mount Breakout TAP is ideal for network monitoring and troubleshooting. It can be easily
installed into any copper 10/100/1000M. Once installed, the P1GCCB will enable you to connect monitoring probe to
troubleshoot and analyze your network segments without dropping any packets.
Quickstart
To deploy the P1GCCB Portable Tap into your network, simply:
●Unpack the network TAP and attach it to the optional rack mount bracket (sold separately).
●Configure DIP switches located on the back of the TAP next to the power supply.
●Install network TAP into the live network (this needs to be done with no power connected to the TAP).
●Using two straight through Ethernet cables, connect ports [A] and [B] of the P1GCCB between the two
live network devices where monitoring is desired. Again, with NO POWER to the TAP verify network traffic
is flowing. Traffic will flow with no power to the tap.
●If traffic does not flow, then we need to verify network speeds and duplexing. In 10M and 100M
environments, one straight through cable and one crossover cable may be required.
●Verify live network is up and running.
●Power up the TAP.
●Connect ports [C] and [D] of the P1GCCB to the monitoring tools for directional network monitoring.
