•19-inch rack frame, 1U high

•Front-mounted connectors for quick and easy installation

•LED indicators show Power, Link, and Activity status

•Modular design for configuration flexibility

•RMON statistics, including network utilization filtering; data can be used to assemble XML-based end-user reports, or it may be exported to a third party reporting tool such as a protocol analyzer

•Text-based command-line interface (CLI) available through RS-232 serial port

•CLI also available remotely over secure SSH connection

•Field-upgradeable software

•Compatible with all major manufacturers’ monitoring devices, including protocol analyzers, probes, and intrusion detection and prevention systems

Monitor port Filtering

•1,000 filter elements per a chassis

•Exclusive (drop matched packets) and inclusive (pass matched packets) filters

•Filters based on IP protocol, IP addresses, layer 4 ports, MAC addresses, and VLANs

•Source and destination MAC addresses, or ranges of addresses

•Source and destination IP addresses, or ranges of addresses

•Source and destination ports, or ranges of ports

•Supports IPv4 and IPv6 protocols

•VLAN

•Protocols: all IP protocols such as ICMP, TCP, UDP, and RDP

Passive, Secure Technology

•Passive access at up to 10 Gbps

•In-line links do not interfere with the data stream or introduce a point of failure

•Optimized and tested for 10, 100, and 1000Mbps copper and 1 and 10 Gpbs fiber networks

•Redundant power to maximize uptime

•In-line links default to open under a complete power-fail condition, ensuring network availability

•FCC, CE, VCCI, C-Tick, and WEEE certified

•Fully RoHS compliant
