Installation
2.2.3 Connecting Multiple Network Devices
If you are using more than one Magnum networked device, use the
supplied 4-wire phone-splitter to connect the devices to the inverter.
There are two interconnection options: Star or Daisy Chain.
Info:
Before deciding on which con
fi
guration to use, review the
differences in installation and ease of troubleshooting.
• Star
Confi guration
– In this arrangement, all network devices
connect to the inverter’s network port
*
via a phone-splitter,
using individual cable runs (Figure 2-4). As each device is
independently connected to the inverter’s network port,
problems in a cable or in a device can be easily isolated—if
there is a cable failure to one device it does not bring down all
the other devices.
* Note – The MM/MMS Series use the Remote (blue) port as the network
port. Do not plug a network device in to the Accessory (yellow) port.
