Some settings might be missing from the settings menu. The MPPT Control display only allows to change the most common
settings. More advance settings, like TX and RX port settings, are not accessible via the MPPT Control display. To configure
these settings use the 

VictronConnect App

 or, for solar chargers 60A and up, use a 

SmartSolar Control display

.
