ControlNet Network
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.
If you use a non-redundant cable system, all ControlNet
devices must be on the same channel, channel A.
