This document describes the front panel, LED indications, interfaces, rear panel, rear switch and
installation procedure for the P1GCCAS and the P1GCSAS. This portable network TAP series is ideal for
10/100/1000MB copper network monitoring. The innovative design allows these TAPs to be easily
installed into any copper 10/100/1000MB network segment.

Installation Procedure
1. Unpack the device and attach it to an optional rack mount bracket (sold separately)
2. Install the P1GCxAS assembly into any available 1U slot of a network rack and secure it with rack
mount screws.
3. Utilizing the DIP switches (located on the reverse side of the unit, next to the power input) configure the
P1GCXAS for the operating mode of your choice (see next page) Install network TAP into the live
network. THIS STEP NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH NO POWER CONNECTED TO THE TAP
4. Using standard Ethernet cables, connect ports [A] and [B] (Auto MDIX) of the P1GCxAS between the
two live network devices where monitoring is desired. Verify network traffic is flowing, confirming that
network cabling is correct.
5. Connect ports [C] and [D] (Auto MDIX) to the monitoring tools for traditional traffic monitoring (SPAN
mode may also be used for regenerating outputs).
6. Connect the power supply to the P1GCxAS and plug it in to an available power source.
7. Anytime the configuration switches are changed the user must remove and then re-apply power for the
changes to take effect.
Note: Other operating modes are available for monitoring and may be configured using the provided DIP
switches. Using SPAN or regeneration mode on fiber models may require both [A] and [B] ports to be
connected to obtain link on port [A] or [B].
