Connecting Xantrex Xanbus Cables
Follow these guidelines for connecting Xantrex Xanbus cables to the
Xantrex XW SCP. The cables are connected to the Xantrex XW SCP at
the same time the Xantrex XW SCP is mounted. Read “Mounting the
Xantrex XW SCP” on page 2–7 before performing the following
procedures.
To connect Xantrex Xanbus cables to the Xantrex XW SCP:
1. Connect the Xantrex Xanbus cable (or two Xantrex Xanbus cables,
if the Xantrex XW SCP is located between two Xantrex Xanbus-
enabled devices) to a Xantrex Xanbus network input in the Xantrex
XW SCP.
2. Route and connect the cable(s) to the nearest Xantrex Xanbus-
enabled device(s).
3. For additional devices, continue connecting cable as
described above.
4. Ensure the factory-supplied male network terminators are inserted
into the empty inputs in the Xantrex Xanbus-enabled devices at the
beginning and end of the network. When the network is completely
connected, there should be no empty network inputs in any Xantrex
Xanbus-enabled device.
:
CAUTION: Equipment damage
Connect the Xantrex XW SCP 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 connecting a Xantrex Xanbus
system directly to a personal computer.
CAUTION: Unpredictable device behavior
Do not connect one end of the network to the other to make a ring
or loop.
