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 unconnected.
If the cable system is redundant, connect the product so that all
devices on the network use the same cable for the same channel. That
is, all channel A connectors connect to one cable; all channel B
connectors connect to the other cable.
TIP
If you use a non-redundant cable system, all ControlNet devices must
be on the same channel, channel A.
