Where is com port to connect cable on multiplus compact 12/1600?

Where is com port to connect ethernet cable on multiplus compact 12/1600? I have mk3-usb dongle but I don’t see any port on the victron ?

A MK3-USB is a VE.Bus to USB interface that connects on the VE.Bus port of the Multiplus Compact.

Thanks for replying. Where is VE.Bus port? I open the panel and see two ports on left side on circuit board. Which one is it ? Thanks

They should be marked accordingly.
From the manual:

Now I see from your picture that they are only marked J17 and J302.

As the VE.Bus is a RS485 port, I suppose that the J17, which is below a Maxim interface IC is the correct one.

Nice ! thanks! Can I use a normal Ethernet cable or I need specific victron rj45 cable ?

Generally Victron is configuring its ports in that way that an user can use a standard straight-through (not cross-over) ethernet cable.

Hello again! I am seeing the device in the app now but I wanted to just change the setting to change ups feature and dynamic current limiter since I plan to use Honda eu22i generator to charge my battery but the app is saying I need a password to change setting in my device! I don’t see any password anywhere ? Do you know ?

Ah I found it in forum by searching. It’s – if anyone sees this later :slightly_smiling_face:
