SPAN and Multi-Link Aggregators/Regenerators • USERguide

The SINGLE stream™series SPAN Aggregator/Regenerator faultlessly combines the

two data streams, allowing any connected monitoring device to receive a full-duplex

stream of data with one NIC.

Additionally, the SINGLEstream™series SPAN Aggregator/Regenerator provides a

unique feature to help manage network resources - a second monitor port. With an

extra monitor port, two devices (such as an analyzer and an intrusion detection

device) can receive the same full-duplex transmission, so there will never be con-

tention for access to the network link.

Although ideal for placement in networks where utilization is consistently under

50% on each side, the SINGLE stream™series SPAN Aggregator/Regenerator can

help prevent data overload and dropped packets due to traffic "bursts" - sudden, tem-

porary increases in bandwidth utilization. Abuilt-in memory buffer can manage

overflows in data transmission and can allow seamless continuity of full-duplex

monitoring.

Just like all of Datacom Systems' tap products, the SINGLE stream™series SPAN

Aggregator/Regenerator is completely non-intrusive. The SINGLE stream™series

SPAN Aggregator/Regenerator redundant power supply design has been thoroughly

tested. Even if power is lost to the tap, network traffic will continue to flow uninter-

rupted.

SS-200 Features & Benefits

• Simple plug-and-play solution – requires no additional configuration of external monitoring devices.

• Connect any protocol analyzers, probes, intrusion detection systems and such for permanent In-Line mon-

itoring of full-duplex links — eliminates the need for network connectors to be disconnected and con-

nected each time a segment needs to be monitored.

• Proven industry leading, non-intrusive, fault-tolerant – will not interfere with data.

• Operates at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and supports full-duplex and half-duplex auto-negotiation.

• Two monitor ports allow two devices to simultaneously monitor the same link, providing extended secu-

rity and analysis options, while eliminating contention for network access.

• Memory buffer manages traffic burst exceeding 100% of a single NIC utilization preventing data over-

load, dropped packets, and maintains continuity of full-duplex monitoring.

• Redundant power assures uninterrupted monitoring by eliminating power single point of failure — seam-

less monitoring even if the main power source is unavailable.

• Easy to install – optional rack mount available in two models, either 3 unit rack mount chassis (RMC-3)

1U high or 14 unit rack mount chassis (RMC-14) 4U high.
