Step 5 - Network Connections
Network connections allow the TriStar MPPT 600V to communicate with other controllers or com-
puters. A network can be as simple as one controller and one PC, or as complex as dozens of
controllers monitored via the internet. Review section 5.0 for more information about networking
and the connection(s) required for your system.
