    I’ve got a new Victron Multiplus-II inverter with VE.Bus, and I’m ready to set it up. Can you walk me through the steps of connecting it to the VictronConnect app using the USB-MK3 accessory cable? What software will I need to use?

    To get your Multiplus-II inverter connected, you’ll need the Victron Interface MK3 to USB cable.

    1. First, plug the connected USB cable of the Victron Interface MK3-USB device, into a USB port on your computer or laptop

    2. Next, you will need a RJ45 UTP Cable, which you will plug one end into the RJ45 port of the Victron Interface MK3-USB device

    3. The other end needs to be plugged into one of the RJ45 VE.Bus ports of your inverter. You can see this labeled “K” on the MultiPlus-II 230V Connection Overview diagram.

    Now you will need the VictronConnect software on your windows PC. You can download it here https://www.victronenergy.com/support-and-downloads/software. NOTE: The Interface MK3-USB device can also work with Android, Windows, and macOS X (but not iOS).

    Once connected and the software is installed, open up the VictronConnect app on your computer, and it should recognize the MultiPlus-II as a device.

    You can also use the VictronConnect app on Android, Windows, and macOS X to configure other devices like the Cerbo GX, but to directly configure the Multiplus II you will need a laptop or PC.
