Connecting Ethernet TAP probe to host computer

The Ethernet TAP probe has a built-in twisted pair interface that connects directly to networks that use the twisted pair (10/100BaseT) cables. A twisted pair crossover cable has been provided to connect the RJ-45 connector of the Ethernet TAP probe to the Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) installed in your PC.

To connect to standalone PC network

  1. Plug one end of the supplied twisted pair crossover cable (p/n 600-11111) into the RJ-45 connector of the Ethernet TAP probe.
  2. Connect the other end of the twisted pair crossover cable to the NIC installed in your PC.
