Connecting the Xantrex XW Automatic Generator Start to the Xantrex Xanbus Network
To connect the Xantrex XW Automatic Generator Start to the Xantrex Xanbus
network, plug a Category 5 network cable into one of the network ports on the
bottom panel of the Xantrex XW Automatic Generator Start. Connect the other
end of that same cable to any Xantrex Xanbus-enabled component that has an
available network port. See Figure 5-8 on page 5–10 for the location of the
ports on the Xantrex XW Automatic Generator Start.
If the Xantrex XW Automatic Generator Start is being installed on an existing
Xantrex Xanbus system, the system must first be put into Standby. See the
Xantrex XW Automatic Generator Start Owner’s Guide for instructions on putting
the system in Standby.
Depending on the layout of the Xantrex Xanbus system, the following options are
available for the other network connector on the Xantrex XW Automatic Generator
Start:
• A second network cable (in a “daisy-chain” network layout)
• A network terminator (in a “daisy chain” network layout where the Xantrex XW
Automatic Generator Start is the last device at one end of the network)
• Nothing (in a multi-drop backbone layout)
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
Connect only to other Xantrex Xanbus-enabled devices.
Although the cabling and connectors used in this network system are the same
as Ethernet connectors, this network is not an Ethernet system. Equipment
damage may result from attempting to connect a Xantrex Xanbus-enabled
device to an Ethernet system.
