• Xanbus cables—each Xanbus-enabled device is connected by a
standard Ethernet (CAT 5e) cable. A 10 foot (3 meter) network cable
is included with the Gateway. If more cables or a different length are
required, these standard cables can be purchased from Xantrex or any
computer supply store.
• Network terminators (Figure 2-2)—the Xanbus network must be
properly terminated at each end with network terminators. If the
network is not properly terminated, signal quality is degraded and
performance on the network is reduced. Permanent configuration
without terminators is not supported by Xantrex. One terminator is
included with the Gateway. Depending on your network layout, this
terminator may need to be inserted into another device elsewhere in
the network.
CAUTION: Equipment damage
Do not use crossover cable. On crossover cable, the order of color-coded wires at
each end of the cable is different.
