Datacom Systems SS series SPAN, VS series SPAN, VS series Multi-Link SS-200 Features & Benefits

Datacom Systems Inc 9

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 SINGLE stream™ 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. A built-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.
