Connecting the Conext ComBox to the Xanbus Network

After you install and configure the Conext ComBox, you can connect it to the Xanbus network. The Xanbus network cable (a CAT5 cable), can provide both data communication and power from Xanbus-enabled devices.

Important: Make sure the ComBox clock is configured before connecting

ComBox to the Xanbus network. See “Changing the Time” on page 3–7.

Xanbus is a valid power source for the Conext ComBox. However, for first-time setup, it is not recommended. The Conext ComBox clock will override the other Xanbus devices’ clocks and could trigger unintentional time-based events.

DO NOT connect the Conext ComBox to the Xanbus network before setting up the internal clock of the Conext ComBox. If Xanbus is the only power source to the ComBox, after installation verify the time settings in all devices.

When you connect the Conext ComBox to the network, the web application automatically discovers any new Xanbus devices, and Modbus addresses are assigned according to the starting address configuration settings. Log out of the web user interface and then log in again to check the Modbus address for the new device and its status.

When applying power to the Conext ComBox through the Xanbus network, make sure the Xanbus network itself has power. Only Freedom SW inverter/chargers can provide power to the Xanbus network and must be operating.

Note:

•Xanbus components can be arranged in any order.

•Use a network terminator at both ends of the Xanbus network.
