Net Optics 8x1 10/100 Active Response Regeneration Taps solve the key physical layer challenges of multi-device monitoring and response. Active response capability increases Tap-based monitoring flexibility and efficiency.  For a complete picture of network health, these Taps connect up to eight different network management and security devices at any single network location.

One Tap, No Idle Resources

Keep your intrusion detection and prevention systems, protocol analyzers, RMON probes, and other security devices productive with a single Regeneration Tap. Maximize resources and save on access points when multiple devices can monitor link traffic simultaneously through a single Regeneration Tap. Secure, passive access for multiple devices simply means a better return on monitoring investments.

Response Ready

When active responses to network events are required, the last monitoring port can be changed to an Active Response Port using a hardware switch. The Active Response Port now becomes bi-directional allowing it to buffer and transmit into the network link any type of Ethernet packet, from a simple TCP reset to ICMP messages. The optional Active Response Port can be easily switched back to passive monitoring via the hardware switch.

The combination of active response capability and passive monitoring in the Tap reduces the number of devices and network ports required for active response functionality.

Reliability

For extra uptime protection, Net Optics Taps offer redundant power connections. Should the primary power source fail, the Tap automatically switches to the backup power source. Power LEDs on the front of the Tap indicate the current power source.
