2.3 Network Connection with Multiple Devices
If you are using more than one Magnum Energy “networked” device, a phone
splitter is required to connect the network devices. It is possible to inter-
connect the devices in two con
fi
gurations; either a “star” or a “daisy chain”
arrangement.
Info:
Before deciding on which con
fi
guration to use, review the dif-
ferences in installation and the ease of troubleshooting.
• Star Con
fi
guration - In the star arrangement the network devices all con-
nect to the “network” port via a phone-splitter to the inverter using individual
cable runs (see
fi
gure 2-4). 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 other devices.

• Daisy-Chain Con
fi
guration – In the daisy chain arrangement, the network
devices are linked in series (see
fi
gure 2-5). If using this con
fi
guration, the
ME-AGS must be the
fi
rst device connected to the inverter’s “Magnum Net”
or “network” port - then followed by the ME-BMK.
