2.3 Installation
1. Write down the IMEI number.
Before mounting the modem, write down the IMEI number in the provided space on the back of this manual. This is a 15
digit number, and is used to identify your modem when setting up an account on the vrm website,
https://vrm.victronenergy.com.
2. Attach the Ethernet adapter to the modem, and connect it to your switch or router.
3. Connect to VE.Bus or a BMV.
a. For VE.Bus, use the DB-15 male to DB-9 male cable, supplied with the modem. Connect the MK2.2A to the serial
cable. Connect the other side of the MK2.2A to your VE.Bus system with a RJ45 UTP cable.
b. For BMV, connect the Global Remote to BMV-60xS connection cable between the BMV and the Ethernet Remote.
This cable has to be purchased separately.
4. (optional) Insert sim-card and mount Antenna.
5. Use the supplied power cable to power the Victron Ethernet Remote. The allowed voltage range is 5.5 to 32VDC.
6. Check the power LED.
The power LED is red, and is located next to the sim-card slot. The LED should be lit permanently RED when you are not
using a sim-card. When you are using a sim-card, it should blink, indicating that it is connected to a GSM network. For
more explanations of the red LED, see chapter 5.1
7. Check the Ethernet LED.
These LEDs are located beside the USB socket. The link LED, green, should be on. The activity LED, yellow, blinks if
there is activity in the ethernet segment.
