Hi Impedance Ethernet tap for IP Recording

Hi Impedance Ethernet tap for IP Recording Design Review

Requirements

The attributes of a successful IP Phone tap are:

• Hi Impedance, monitor only (does not interfere or transmit in any
  way)
• Plug n play, installed and configured in seconds
• USB device with dedicated drivers that talk directly to the recorder application.
• Does not require secondary Ethernet or complex reference to IP addresses etc. for installation.
• Low Cost
  

Option

System components
2 x Pulse Transformer + 2 x Ethernet PHY + MCU

System consideration
In this way, I used two network interface chip processing network things. MCU for network communication and USB communication. So, MCU firmware need to write to for system requirements. This method requires us to write more programs

High-impedance network port implementation. I recommend “Build a Dedicated Hardware Ethernet Sniffer (100FDX)” document. This document gave a detailed implementation methods. I think this method is appropriate.
