FASTstart Guide

When installing a Fiber Tap, it is important to make sure that the Tx and Rx fibers

are connected to the respective ports on the Fiber Tap. When wired correctly, the traffic incoming on

an Rx port will be split before being sent to two separate Tx ports (One copy to the other Network

device, the other copy to Monitor).

If the fibers are connected backwards, light will not be received on the monitoring

port. This is because the internal coupler that splits the light is unidirectional.

Fiber Tap will still send light between the network ports and connectivity will be seen on both network

endpoints. Be sure to check the for light on the monitor ports as well as the network ports when

installing the Fiber Tap.
