Connecting a Laptop Computer to the Network with a 1784-PCC Card
The 1784-PCC1 cable can be connected from a laptop computer with a
1784-PCC card into any ControlNet product’s network access port (NAP) to
provide access to an existing ControlNet network. A laptop computer
connected through this cable is counted as a node and must have a unique
network address (MAC ID) less than or equal to the maximum unscheduled
node (UMAX).
WARNING
The NAP is intended for temporary local-programming purposes only
and not intended for permanent connection. If you connect or
disconnect the NAP cable with power applied to this module or any
device on the network, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an
explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding.
