20160105237 | BI-DIRECTIONAL TRAFFIC ACCESS POINT - When a bi-directional TAP receives via a first multimode bi-directional fiber a signal transmitted by a storage array to a server, a collimator collimates the light of the signal towards a splitter. The splitter splits the signal into two portions. One portion is output to a second multimode bi-directional fiber connected to the server and the other portion is output to a monitoring system for analysis. When the bi-directional TAP receives via the second fiber a signal transmitted by the server to the storage array, the collimator collimates the light of the signal towards the splitter. The splitter splits the signal into two portions. One portion is output to the first fiber so that it can be received by the storage array. The other portion is output to the monitoring system. The bi-directional TAP can be a reflective or a transmitted type of TAP. | 04-14-2016 |
