Figure 5 ControlNet Connections
Network Access Port (NAP)
The CN2DN includes a Network Access Port (NAP) with an RJ-45 connector for
connecting programming terminals to devices on the ControlNet network. You
can use the NAP to temporarily connect a device such as a laptop computer to the
network.
Important: Do not connect the CN2DN to more than one ControlNet network
at a time. Attempting to connect to a second network will cause the
CN2DN to operate erratically.
!
ATTENTION: If you connect the product to a cable system that
does not support redundant media, connect the tap dropline to the
BNC connector labeled channel A. channel B is left open when
using single media.
If the cable system is redundant, connect all channel A connectors
to one cable, and all channel B connectors to the other cable.
