Front Panel Display and LEDs
Real-time utilization and peak traffic information displayed on the front panel saves you time and money spent using other tools to get basic information.
Alarm LEDs indicate if traffic levels have exceeded a set threshold, allowing you to respond quickly to changing traffic conditions.
Net Optics Web Manager
Without any specialized software, you can access the traffic information monitored by any iTap Port Aggregator. All you need is a computer with a browser and
access to the IP address of the iTap Port Aggregator. No matter where you are, you can control your iTap Port Aggregator and monitor traffic information.
Net Optics System Manager
Net Optics’ SNMP management tool, System Manager, gives you single-point control and visibility into any link in the network with an iTap Port Aggregator
anywhere in the world. Distributed on strategic links, iTap Port Aggregators provide baseline information and early warning alarms to help you deploy your
security and monitoring devices more effectively over more links.
Command Line Interface
The password-protected command line interface gives you complete access to all of iTap Port Aggregator’s functionality via an RS232 port. Most importantly,
you can use the CLI to disable the Management Port and prevent the front panel display from showing traffic information.
Net Optics Management
Information Base (MIB)
Use the iTap Port Aggregator with your current SNMP management tool. Net Optics’ MIB and SNMP traps are completely compatible with popular SNMP tools
such as OpenView and Tivoli

.
Aggregation
Net Optics’ proven port aggregation technology allows you to monitor traffic using a single NIC on your monitoring device. Unlike any other port aggregator
tap, the iTap Port Aggregator monitors utilization levels of both sides of the full-duplex link so this information is not lost. 512MB traffic buffers help ensure
that your monitoring device does not miss traffic during bursts.
Half-duplex (Tap) Mode
Use the iTap Port Aggregator as a conventional half-duplex network Tap to capture all traffic when aggregated utilization exceeds 100 percent of a monitor port’s
bandwidth.
Port Ordering
Ensure that packets appear on the monitor ports in the same time sequence they arrived at the network ports by enabling the Port Ordering feature.
Timestamping
For precise timing analysis, replace the CRC bytes of each packet with an 8 nanosecond resolution timestamp.
Cables Included
All cables required for installation are included. Follow the connection diagram on top of the iTap Port Aggregator and you are halfway done with the
installation of your iTap Port Aggregator.
