Overview
A programming device can be connected to the tap to facilitate monitoring and
maintenance of the devices installed on the network. For more information on
programming, refer to Modbus Plus Network Planning and Installation Guide (890
USE 100 00). The tap has a connector port for that purpose, located on the front
cover. The RJ-45 programming port is for programming purposes only, and is
not intended as a permanent connection.
A programming cable is available separately from Schneider Automation by
ordering part number 990 NAA 215 10. It is not included with the tap package.

Network address
Before you connect or disconnect any device on an active network, you must be
aware of its effect on the communication between your existing devices. Any new
device’s network address must be different from all the other addresses. In addition,
the network communication may be disrupted for up to 15 seconds while the network
reconfigures upon connecting or removing the device. Contact your network
administrator to make sure that your application will not be affected.

Panel Mount
Loosen the tap’s two cover screws, and remove the protective front cover. This will
expose the two mounting holes inside the tap base. Position product, and mark two
holes with a pencil on the panel surface at the planned location for mounting the tap.
Remove product to avoid chip contamination, and then drill the holes in the panel
surface.
The tap body has two through holes of 0.197 in (5 mm) diameter suitable for a #8
screw.
Mount the tap to the panel with two #8 screws. Reinstall the tap cover.
