Target system connection options
There are two ways to connect the Ethernet TAP probe to the target system.
Connecting probe tip directly to debug port header
If your target system has a debug port header, you can directly connect the probe tip on the Ethernet TAP probe to the target system debug port header. Make sure that you properly align the multi-pin socket probe tip with the multi-pin header on your target system.
To connect probe tip to target system debug port header
- Turn off the power to the target system and the Ethernet TAP probe.
- Make sure all the pins of the probe tip socket are properly aligned with the debug port header on the target system. Use the label on the probe tip as a guide.
- Gently (but firmly) press the probe tip onto the target system debug port header.
After doing the connections, turn on the power to the target system and Ethernet TAP probe.
Connecting probe tip to debug port header using extension cable
Use the supplied flexible probe tip extension cable to connect the Ethernet TAP probe to your target system if there is not enough clearance for the standard probe tip to fit onto the target system debug port header.
To connect flexible probe tip extension cable for debug port header
- Turn off the power to the target system and the Ethernet TAP probe.
- Attach the multi-pin header end of the of the flexible probe tip extension cable to the debug port socket of the Ethernet TAP probe tip.
The red stripe on the cable identifies pin 1. The pin assignment of the cable is identical to that of the probe tip socket.
- Connect the other end of the flexible probe tip extension cable to the debug port header on your target system.
After doing the connections, turn on the power to the target system and Ethernet TAP probe.
