2.0 Installation
2.4.3 Cable Connections with Multiple Devices
If you are using more than one Magnum networked device, a 4-wire phone
splitter is required to connect the devices. There are two options for inter-
connecting the devices – either in a Star or Daisy Chain confi guration.
Info: Before deciding on which confi guration to use, review the dif-
ferences in installation and ease of troubleshooting.
• Star Confi guration – In this arrangement, all the network devices con-
nect to the inverter’s Network port via a phone splitter, using individual
cable runs (Figure 2-7). Since each device is independently connected
to the inverter’s Magnum Net or Network port, problems in a cable or
a device can be easily isolated; and, if there is a cable failure to one
device it does not bring down all the devices.

• Daisy Chain Confi guration – In this arrangement, the network de-
vices are linked in a series (Figure 2-8). If using this confi guration, the
ME-AGS-N must be the fi rst device connected to the inverter’s Magnum
Net or Network port – followed by the second network device.
