MK3-USB and Multiplus II Setup: Absolutly necessary or nice-to-have ?

Dear all,

I already ordered the following devices

Victron Multiplus II 5000, Cerbo GX, Touch 50, MPPT RS 450-200, EM24-Ethernet

and I am currently waiting for the delivery....

I just noticed that the interface MK3-USB is not included.

My question is: Is this interface absolutly required, at least helpful or only a nice-to-have-option ?

If the answer is only helpful or nice-to-have, what do I need it for and for what not ?

Regards

Ralf

No ... it is not required for such a singe MP2 Setup. You are able to configure everything through the VRM Portal -> but the way is more complicated.

If you can get your GX online, you can push configs to the Multi remotely via VRM.

So a mk3 is not as vital any more. It is damn handy though, especially if a firmware update goes wrong and you have to go old-school with veflash.
