What type of cables, straight or cross over, do I use to deploy a Critical TAP?
The cabling of a Critical TAP is one of the most important parts of the deployment, and it is vital to get it correct so that the fail-safe feature of the device actually works. Cabling is different for each model and cable guides are inlcuded in the Useer Guide for each TAP, but the general rules for cabling are firstly to make sure the TAP is not powered up, then connect cables to each side of the TAP and to the end devices. When both end devices are showing the link is up, then you can power up the TAP and check the link status again. If the link is still up then the cabling is correct.
