+  * Marine Network Cables - 6ft - PART NUMBER 010-10550-00
+  * Marine Network Cables - 20ft - PART NUMBER 010-10551-00
+  * Marine Network Cables - 40ft - PART NUMBER 010-10552-00
+  * Marine Network Cables - 500ft - PART NUMBER 010-10647-01
+===== Configuration =====
+==== GX device settings ====
+  - Ordered List Item
+  - Go to Settings -> Services, and there enable MQTT.
+  - Go to Settings -> System Setup -> Scroll to the bottom -> Battery measurements. And there set up what batteries you want to see on the MFD, and by what name. Make sure to check out [[https://www.dropbox.com/s/nlvqttx320zyaba/Battery%20Measurements.mov?dl=0|this video, which shows how to configure the batteries to be visible on the MFD]]
+  - For boats; and other applications with DC loads such as lighting and a Battery Monitor installed, make sure to enable the "Has DC system setting". For more information about it; see the [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:start|GX Manual]].
-The Garmin needs to be connected to the Venus-device using Ethernet. Its not possible to connect over WiFi. For the ethernet connection, a Garmin adapter is required:
+==== Networking ====
+No special networking settings are necessary. Not on the Garmin; and not on the Victron GX Device.
-  - Marine Network Cables - 6ft - PART NUMBER 010-10550-00
+The Garmin MFDs run a DHCP server; and the [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:start|GX device]] are by default configured to use DHCP. After plugging in the cable, the Victron icon will show up after 10 to 30 seconds.
-  - Marine Network Cables - 20ft - PART NUMBER 010-10551-00
-  - Marine Network Cables - 40ft - PART NUMBER 010-10552-00
-  - Marine Network Cables - 500ft - PART NUMBER 010-10647-01
-===== 4. Configuration =====
+To connect the GX Device to the internet and the [[https://vrm.victronenergy.com|VRM Portal]], while its Ethernet port is already in use to connect to the Garmin, use either WiFi or a GX GSM. [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:start#internet_connectivity|more information]].
