Connecting The Repeater To A ControlNet Link
1.
Remove (and save) the dust cap located on the straight or right-angle
connector of the designated tap on the first segment (segment 1).
2.
Remove and discard the dust caps from the repeater BNC jacks.
3.
Connect the designated tap’s straight or right-angle connector to the
BNC connector on the repeater.
!
ATTENTION: Do not allow any metal portions of the
tap to contact any conductive material. This contact can
cause noise on the network.
If you disconnect the tap from the repeater, place the dust
cap back on the straight or right-angle connector to
prevent the connector from accidentally contacting a
metallic grounded surface.
