POWER 1 AND POWER 2 Capacity for two power sources is integrated into the Copper SPAN Tap. It is strongly recommended that external sourcing for each power supply originates from separate and independent electrical circuits. This strategy will strongly reduce the risk of Tap operation being interrupted. Once connected, the POWER 1 and POWER 2 LEDs will illuminate, indicating that both power sources are active. If either LED fails to illuminate, then there is a defective power source; immediate replacement is required to ensure redundant power integrity. MANAGEMENT PORT This RJ45 port is used for remote switch control of the Copper SPAN Tap through a network. The port features integrated LEDs that displays connection and activity status. The LED Display Codes table on page 9 provides more details. CONTROL This USB port is used to connect to the 9-pin COM port on a host computer for local control — either in a standalone Copper SPAN Tap switch configuration, or as the first Copper SPAN Tap switch in a daisy-chain configuration. In a daisy-chained scenario, the CONTROL port of the primary (or preceding) Copper SPAN Tap is directly connected to the LINK port on the subsequent Copper SPAN Tap in the daisy-chain. This port is also used to set device IP address and to update firmware on the Copper SPAN Tap. LINK This USB port is used to connect to the CONTROL port on a preceding Copper SPAN Tap in a daisy-chain configuration.

IEC 320 INLET CONNECTORS Two 100–240V AC (50–60Hz) power circuit connections allow for redundant power sourcing. It is strongly recommended to connect each power supply to separate external power sources as a means to ensure uninterrupted monitoring and to eliminate power loss as a cause of failure. Once connected, the POWER 1 and POWER 2 LEDs will illuminate, indicating that both power 1 and 2, respectively, are on. Either LED not illuminated indicates a defective power source; replace immediately to ensure redundant power integrity. SN (SERIAL NUMBER) Keep the serial number on file. It identifies the Copper SPAN Tap unit. MAC (MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL) MAC addresses are used to identify devices (nodes) on a network. Each MAC address features six sets of dual hexadecimal values (e.g., 00-11-88-BB-CC-FF) that are uniquely assigned to network devices.

Daisy-Chain Addressing
To make interconnection between multiple Copper SPAN Taps and individual network device links, follow these steps: 1. Connect the RJ45 SPAN ports from each ethernet switch/network device to one of the sixteen available STAP-BT-4X16 Copper SPAN Tap NETWORK ports using a standard CAT 5E cable. Each outlet features integrated LEDs that display the status of each port. Refer to LED Display Codes on page 9 for connection status information. NOTE The network monitor tool must match the selected network duplex speed.
2. Connect the TAP A port on the first Copper SPAN Tap to the network monitor tool NIC RJ45 port using a CAT 5E cable. The TAP A port link LED will illuminate, indicating a link has been established between both devices. 3. Connect TAP B, TAP C and TAP D ports on the Copper SPAN Tap to other network monitor tools as desired using separate CAT 5E cables. Verify that each link is properly established by monitoring the integrated tap port LEDs. 4. Connect the DAISY A port on the first Copper SPAN Tap to the TAP A port on the next Copper SPAN Tap using a CAT 5E cable. The TAP A port link LED on the next Copper SPAN Tap will illuminate, indicating a link has been established between both Copper SPAN Taps. 5. Connect the DAISY B, DAISY C and DAISY D ports on the first Copper SPAN Tap with the TAP B, TAP C and TAP D ports on the next Copper SPAN Tap, respectively, using CAT 5E cables. 6. For adding a third or fourth Copper SPAN Taps to the daisy-chain assembly, repeat steps 4 and 5 as necessary, connecting the DAISY ports from the last daisy-chained Copper SPAN Tap into the respective TAP ports on the Copper SPAN Tap being added to the daisy-chain configuration. 7. Connect the MANAGEMENT RJ45 port on the first Copper SPAN Tap to the network to enable remote console control. Alternately, connect the CONTROL USB port on the first Copper SPAN Tap to a local host control console with the included USB-to-DB9F (DRL470-6-6-6-6) quad-control cable. 8. Connect the LINK USB port on the first Copper SPAN Tap to the CONTROL port on the next Copper SPAN Tap in the daisy-chain with a USB cable. Repeat this step with any additional Copper SPAN Taps that are added to the daisy-chain configuration. 9. Once the daisy-chain hardware installation is complete, the switch control software must be properly configured or reconfigured for your network environment. Setting the address for each individual Copper SPAN Tap is handled by either configuring one device at a time before the cables are connected, or by daisy-chaining all Copper SPAN Taps to use the built-in autoaddressing capability. Refer to the Fluke Networks MANAgents software guide for more details.
