Changing the SFP Monitor Port Connector

You have the option to change the interface on the Monitor Port by changing

the small form-factor plug (SFP) on the Monitor Port . You can order conver-

sion kits which include the singlemode fiber, multimode fiber, GigaBit copper

SFP and appropriate cable from Net Optics . For ordering information, see

Specifications on page 9.

To change the SFP:

1 . Remove the cable from the SFP on the Port Aggregator Tap .

2 . Lower the wire clip to release the SFP connector .

3 . With the clip on the lowered position, pull gently on the clip to free the

SFP .

4 . Insert the new SFP until you hear it click into place .

5 . Connect the cable supplied with the kit .

Connecting Power

The second power supply is available to support the flow of traffic to the

monitoring device, in the event that the first power supply becomes unavail-

able. If the first power supply is unavailable, the second power supply will

supply all power for the Tap . Even if no power is available to the passive Tap,

network traffic flows uninterrupted.

1 . Supply power to the Tap via the two power connectors on the rear of the

unit . Two power supplies are included with the AC power models . The use

of the second redundant power supply is optional .

2. Verify that the Power LEDs illuminate. PWR 1 illuminates when the first

power supply is in use, and PWR 2 illuminates when the second power

supply is in use . Both power supplies can be plugged into the Tap at the

same time .
