Network Layout
Each device on the network is linked with separate lengths of Xantrex Xanbus
cable, as shown in Figure 3-3. This layout does not require network connectors.
Two terminators are required to ensure the communication signal quality on the
network. The Xantrex Xanbus-enabled devices at each end of the chain must
have a male terminator inserted into their open network ports.
Advantage The advantage of this layout is that it is less expensive to install
because network connectors are not required.
Disadvantage The disadvantage of the daisy chain layout is that Xantrex
Xanbus-enabled devices cannot be removed from the network without
interrupting the network. To make the network function after removing a device,
you must connect the Xantrex Xanbus-enabled devices on either side of the
missing device to each other or replace the device.
