8. Insert the RJ45 plug of the network cable into the
network pin connector on the inverter until it snaps
into place.
9. Ensure that the network connector is securely in place by pulling slightly on the network cable.
10. Connect the other end of the network cable to the local network (e.g. via a router). You can
only connect the inverter to other nodes via star topology.
11. Connecting the data cable of the battery (see Section 6.4, page 37).
