Frequently Asked Questions
What is a network TAP and why do I need one?
A network TAP (Test Access Point) is a passive monitoring device that allows you to capture and analyze network traffic without impacting live connections. The Dualcomm ETAP-1000 is essential for troubleshooting, security monitoring, and performance analysis in industrial Ethernet environments where any packet loss or latency could disrupt critical operations.
Does the ETAP-1000 introduce latency or packet loss?
No. The ETAP-1000 delivers zero packet delay and lossless packet capture, making it ideal for delay-sensitive protocols like EtherCAT and PROFINET where even microseconds of latency can cause system failures.
What happens if power fails on the ETAP-1000?
The ETAP-1000 features power fail-safe design with link fault pass-through capabilities. If power is lost, the inline connection remains active, ensuring your network continues operating without interruption.
Can the ETAP-1000 work with PoE-powered devices?
Yes. The ETAP-1000 includes PoE power pass-through between inline ports, allowing you to monitor PoE-powered devices without disrupting their power supply. It also supports USB power for flexible installation options.
