Installation
• Daisy
Chain
Confi guration – Network devices are linked in a
series (Figure 2-8). If using this con
¿
guration, the ME-AGS-N
must be the
¿
rst device connected to the inverter’s Magnum Net
or Network port—followed by the second network device.

2.5.1 Cable Connections with Multiple Devices
If using more than one networked device, a 4-wire phone splitter is
required to connect the devices. Star or Daisy Chain con
¿
gurations
are the two options for interconnecting the devices.
Info: Before deciding on which con
¿
guration to use, review
the differences in installation and ease of troubleshooting.
• Star
Confi guration – All the network devices connect to the
inverter’s Network port via a phone splitter—using individual
cable runs (Figure 2-7). Since each device is independently
connected to the inverter’s MagNet or Network port, problems
in a cable or a device can be easily isolated; and, if there is a
cable failure to one device it does not bring down all the devices.
