Network Layout
Xanbus-enabled devices can be connected in one of two Xanbus System
layouts: multi-drop backbone or daisy chain. Each network layout has
advantages and disadvantages, depending on the application and/or
environment. It is up to you or your system designer to decide which
layout is best for your installation.
Multi-Drop Backbone Layout
In a multi-drop backbone layout, each Xanbus-enabled device on the
network is connected by a drop cable to the network bus or backbone
using a network connector, as shown in Figure 2-5.
