Installing the XW Automatic Generator Start
975-0307-01-01 2–27
Connecting the XW Auto Generator Start to the Xanbus Network
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)
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.
