ControlNet Network
A ControlNet Network is a single coaxial trunk cable broken up into segments interconnected by links.
Node Connections to the network are created through a Tap and drop cable. Repeaters are used to link
segments together and for changes in media from coax to fiber optic. All points on the network must
either have an interface card or a terminator. Terminators are comprised of termination resistors, which
