Disadvantage The disadvantage of the daisy chain layout is that 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 Xanbus-enabled devices on either side of the missing device
to each other or replace the device.
Network Connectors, Terminators, and Cables
Network connectors, terminators, and cables are used to build your
Xanbus network.
3-way network
connector
The 3-way connector houses three RJ45 jacks that provide a device
connection point on a multi-drop layout. All three jacks are wired
identically and can accept either network cables or terminators. One jack
is available for connecting to a Xanbus-enabled device. The remaining
jacks are reserved for connection to two other network connectors, a
terminated network cable, or a male terminator.
The network connector is mounted to a bulkhead or a wall, as shown in
Figure 4.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
Connect only to other Xanbus-compatible devices.
Although the cabling and connectors used in this network system are the same as
ethernet connectors, this network is not an ethernet system. Equipment
damage may result from attempting to connect Xanbus to different systems.
