Connecting Power

For power fault protection, the iTap has redundant power supplies. The second power supply is available to support the flow of traffic to the monitoring device in the event that the first power supply becomes unavailable. If the first power supply is unavailable, the second power supply provides all power for the iTap. Even if no power is available to the passive iTap, network traffic flows uninterrupted.

If you plan to use redundant power, make sure that you connect the power supplies to two separate, independent power sources. After connecting the power supplies, verify that at least one Power LED is illuminated.
