The 1200 Series SINGLEstream™ Gigabit (10/100/1000) Link Aggregation Tap from Datacom Systems provides a superior solution for 24x7 monitoring of Ethernet links.

While traditional network taps might enable full-duplex monitoring of all traffic on a network link, they transmit the data to the monitoring device (e.g. analyzer, IDS, probe) in two separate half-duplex streams. Not only does this require the monitoring device to have two network interface cards (NIC), it also requires that the device be capable of combining and processing both streams of data in order to monitor both sides of the conversation. Not all monitoring devices have that capability.

The 1200 Series SINGLEstream™ 10/100/1000 Link Aggregation Tap faultlessly combines the two data streams, allowing any connected monitoring device to receive a full-duplex stream of data with one NIC.

The SINGLEstream™ SS-1200 Series Configurable Link Aggregation TAPs provide maximum flexibility allowing a choice of aggregation or non-aggregation of the bi-directional data on a single 10/100 or 1000Mb link

• Manage TAP via management port or local serial port
• Any-to-Any architecture can send traffic to any port from any other port, eliminating the need for network managers to manage or change complex configurations of SPAN ports or move tools around their network.
• “Any-to-Any” architecture on 2 ports allows the enduser to steer traffic as desired
• In-Line design eliminates contention for network access by freeing up SPAN/Mirror ports
• 24X7 access point for network monitoring and security tools
