There are 2 RJ45 plugs in the bottom side of the Omnik inverter as the following figure:

These 2 RJ45 plugs are used for multipoint communications, that is, up to 50 Omnik
inverters can be connected one by one through these 2 plugs and the cables, the upper
computer can communicate with these inverters via a single signal cable at the same
time, and maximum length of the cable is 1000m. Through these plugs, the user can get
the data from these inverters, and can also configure parameters of them.
