Connecting the Xantrex XW AGS to the Xantrex Xanbus Network

To connect the Xantrex XW AGS to the Xantrex Xanbus network, plug a

Xantrex Xanbus network cable (standard straight-through Ethernet

cable—CAT 5e) into one of the network ports on the bottom panel of the

Xantrex XW AGS. Connect the other end of that same cable to the next

Xantrex Xanbus-enabled component in the chain. See Figure 2-25. For the

location of the ports on the Xantrex XW AGS, see Figure 2-5 on page 2–3.

If the Xantrex XW AGS is being installed on an existing Xantrex Xanbus

system, the system must first be put into Standby. See “Putting the

Xantrex XW AGS in Standby Mode” on page 4–6.

Depending on the layout of the Xantrex Xanbus system, the following

options are available for the other network connector on the Xantrex XW

AGS:

CAUTION: Equipment Damage

Connect only to other Xantrex 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 Xantrex

Xanbus-enabled device to an Ethernet system.
