5.9.1 Network Topology

The inverter has 2 Ethernet RJ-45 connectors enabling the
connection of several inverters in a line topology as an
alternative to the typical star topology. The 2 ports are
similar and may be used interchangeably. For RS-485, only
linear daisy chain connections can be used.
NOTICE
Ring topology is not permitted.
