The netTAP NT 50 devices described in this manual are communication
devices that are connecting two networks to each other. The NT 50 devices
are operating as gateway between both networks.

The interface X2 is a fieldbus interface, the interface X3 may be an
Ethernet or a serial interface (RS).
The fieldbus interface X2 is located at the front of the device. The Ethernet
respectively the serial interface is located at the bottom of the device (X3).
Basically it is possible to connect either to port X2 or X3 to a host or to field
devices.
The netTAP NT 50 device is configured by a PC and the software
SYCON.net. Online diagnosis is possible via the same interface. The
Ethernet interface of the netTAP NT 50 device is used for configuration and
for diagnostic. This PC is a part of the Ethernet network.
Information about the configuration of the device with SYCON.net soft-
