Connecting the XW Auto Generator Start to the Xanbus Network

Installing the XW Automatic Generator Start

Connecting the XW Auto Generator Start to the Xanbus Network

CAUTION: Equipment Damage

Connect only to other Xanbus-enabled devices.

Although the cabling and connectors used in this network system are the same as those used for Ethernet, this network is not an Ethernet system. Equipment damage may result from attempting to connect a Xanbus-enabled device to an Ethernet system.

To connect the XW Auto 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 Auto Generator Start. Connect the other end of that same cable to any Xanbus-enabled component that has an available network port. See Figure 2-1 on page 2–3 for the location of the ports on the XW Auto Generator Start.

If the XW Auto Generator Start is being installed on an existing Xanbus system, the system must first be put into Standby. See “Putting the XW Auto Generator Start in Standby Mode” on page 4–6.

Depending on the layout of the Xanbus system, the following options are available for the other network connector on the XW Auto Generator Start:

•A second network cable (in a “daisy-chain” network layout)

•A network terminator (in a “daisy chain” network layout where the XW Auto Generator Start is the last device at one end of the network)

•Nothing (in a multi-drop backbone layout)

Connect 1 or 2 Category 5 network cables as required by the installation configuration.
