The Xanbus Network
A Xanbus network is a collection of Xanbus enabled devices that perform
individual functions, but also communicate and interact with other devices on the
network. The network capability of the Conext XW+ provides a solution that
simplifies and automates the installation, configuration, control, monitoring, and
integration of devices.
Network Components
A Xanbus network consists of three elements: Xanbus-enabled devices, Xanbus
power supply, and Xanbus cables.
Each device is integrated into the network using cables, network connectors,
and terminators. An example of a network system is shown in Figure 4-1.
NOTICE
SHORT CIRCUIT OF NETWORK COMPONENTS
• This network is not an ethernet system. Only connect Xanbus-enabled
devices to other Xanbus-enabled devices. Do not attempt to connect
Xanbus-enabled devices to other networks or systems.
• Ethernet crossover cables are not compatible with the Xanbus system. Use
Category 5 (CAT 5 or CAT 5e) cables to connect Xanbus-enabled devices.
• Do not install network terminators in an AC Sync port.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in damage to equipment.
