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 Pro provides a solution that simplifies and
automates the installation, configuration, control, monitoring, and integration of devices.
