[Description]

Dualcomm’s patent pending unmanaged 3 Station 10/100/1000Base-T Network Tap (Model No. mTAP-6304) is a rack-mountable 1U chassis that includes three 1-to-2 10/100/1000Base-T regeneration tap modules. The innovative design of mTAP-6304 makes it a cost-effectively solution for achieving traffic visibility on mission-critical network links.  mTAP-6304 offers the following main features:

Dual Monitor Ports


Of the four 10/100/1000Base-T network ports on each of the three tap modules, two designated network ports A and B are implemented as inline ports for connecting the tap module as an inline device between two end network devices, and the other two network ports M1 and M2 are implemented as two monitor ports, each of which captures an identical copy of the “mirrored” traffic traveling between the two inline network ports. It is plug and play to users and no user configuration is required.

The availability of two monitor ports will be very useful for many situations where more than one packet sniffing tools are needed to operated on the same captured traffic simultaneously. For example, in a VoIP call recording system, one monitor port is used for connecting to a sever computer running VoIP call recording program and the other monitor port can be used for connecting to a protocol analysis tool such as a WireShark computer for trouble-shooting and other packet protocol analysis tasks.

Power Failsafe-Bypass

The two inline network ports A and B on each tap module of mTAP-6304 supports power failsafe-bypass, which is  an important feature usually required to maintain link connectivity even when the mTAP-6304 chassis loses its power.  As such, mTAP-6304 can be deployed in mission-critical network paths without a concern of possible link down due to power outages.

PoE Inline Power Pass-Through


The  two inline network ports A and B also supports  pass-through of PoE inline power between the two inline network ports , by which the PoE inline power from an uplink connection to one inline network port is passed to the other inline network port. This is a very desirable feature  when mTAP-6304 is used to monitor the traffic flow of a PoE powered network link segment such as a network connection  of a PoE powered IP phone or IP camera.
