Connecting the XW Automatic Generator Start to the Xanbus Network
To connect the XW Automatic Generator Start to the Xanbus network, plug a
Category 5 network cable into one of the network ports on the bottom panel of the XW
Automatic Generator Start. Connect the other end of that same cable to any
Xanbus-enabled component that has an available network port. See Figure 5-8 on page
5–9 for the location of the ports on the XW Automatic Generator Start.
If the XW Automatic Generator Start is being installed on an existing Xanbus system, the
system must first be put into Standby. See the XW Automatic Generator Start Owner’s
Guide for instructions on putting the system in Standby.
Depending on the layout of the Xanbus system, the following options are available for
the other network connector on the 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 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 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 Xanbus-enabled device to an
Ethernet system.
