2.1 Accessing via VRM

This method requires a working internet connection, both on your phone/tablet/laptop as well as for
the Venus GX. For a new install, this means that it needs to be connected by Ethernet cable.

Step by step instructions:

First, connect the Venus GX to the internet by plugging it into a working Ethernet network which has a
DHCP server, as most networks do, and which is connected to the internet. The Venus GX will
immediately connect to VRM.

Now, go to the VRM Portal, 

https://vrm.victronenergy.com/

device. More information about this is available in the 

VRM Manual

Then once visible on VRM, click the 'Remote Console' link to open the window. Which will look like
