To connect the PanelView Plus or PanelView Plus CE ControlNet
communication module directly to a ControlNet network as shown in
the illustration follow the instructions in these publications:
• ControlNet Coax Tap Installation Instructions, publication
1786-IN007.
• ControlNet Coax Media Planning and Installation Manual,
publication CNET-IN002.
Connect the Module Directly to a ControlNet Network
IMPORTANT
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.
