Use this document as a guide when you install a ControlNett tap
dummy load. This document will be packaged with 5 tap dummy loads.
About the Tap Dummy Load
The tap dummy load allows you to install extra taps on your trunk line
without installing ControlNet nodes. The tap dummy load 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 dummy load can be used on any number of taps in your
ControlNet system. Refer to the ControlNet Coax Media Planning and
Installation Manual (Publication 1786-6.2.1) to determine how many
taps you can install in your system.
