5.3 Configuration by computer

All settings can be changed by means of a computer or with a VE.Net panel (except for the multi-functional relay and the VirtualSwitch
when using VE.Net).
The most common settings (including parallel and 3-phase operation) can be changed by means of DIP switches (see Section 5.4).
For changing settings with the computer, the following is required:
- VEConfigureII software. You can download the VEConfigureII software free of charge at
- A RJ45 UTP cable and the MK2.2b RS485-to-RS232 interface. If your computer has no RS232 connection, but does have
USB, you will also need a RS232-to-USB interface cable. Both are available from Victron Energy.
