About the Tap Terminator
The tap terminator allows you to install extra taps on your trunk line
without installing ControlNet Ex nodes. The tap terminator facilitates the
maintenance of your network by providing termination of a tap not in use;
holding a space for a node to be added in the future.
The tap terminator can be used on any number of taps in your ControlNet
Ex system. Refer to the ControlNet Ex Coax Media Planning and
Installation Manual, publication CNET-IN002A-EN, to determine how
many taps you can install in your system.
Installing the Tap Terminator
1. Remove the dust cap from the existing tap.
