Step 6: Connecting to the Network

For your reference, Figure 14 shows where the network connections are made on the Freedom SW 230V.

To connect the Freedom SW 230V to the Xanbus network:

Installing the Inverter/Charger

The Xanbus System Installation Guide is available for download at www. xantrex.com

◆Plug a network cable connected to the Xanbus network into either one of the two Xanbus Interface network ports on the Freedom SW 230V.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

Connect the Freedom SW 230V only to other Xanbus compatible 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 two different systems. Do not attach the Freedom SW 230V On/Off switch to these ports.

Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or damage other equipment.
