To connect the WS500 to your GX device, you will need to use a crossover cable with RJ45 connectors. The pinout of the WS500 and VE.Can ports are different, so a normal network cable cannot be used. The cable should have pin 1 and 2 on one side connected to pin 7 and 8 on the other side. Pin 7 goes to pin 1 and pin 8 goes to pin 2. Both ends of the cable must be terminated. Wakespeed offers a ready-configured cable with a blue RJ45 connector on one end that should be connected to the VE.Can port. Please note that the black terminators supplied by Wakespeed and the blue terminators supplied by Victron are not interchangeable. Insert the Victron terminator on the Victron side of the network and insert the Wakespeed terminator into the Wakespeed side.
