- | The connection of the Lite to the GX-device is extremely simple. A standard **straight through** CAT5e Ethernet cable is required of the desired length, with one end plugged into one of the RJ45 sockets on the Lite and the other end plugged into one of the CAN sockets on the GX-device. Note that the second RJ45 socket in each case must be fitted with an end of line 120Ω resistor. Two are supplied with each GX-device. | + | The connection of the Lite to the GX-device is extremely simple.

The Freedom Won Battery Management System is configured by default to communicate over CAN bus at a 500kbps baud rate. For systems using a Color Control GX and Victron VE.CAN MPPTs, it is possible to change the baud rate of the battery to 250kbps in order to accommodate the VE.CAN baud rate. **However**, | The Freedom Won Battery Management System is configured by default to communicate over CAN bus at a 500kbps baud rate.
