+===== Wiring =====
+The Garmin needs to be connected to the [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/venus-os:start|GX device ]] using Ethernet. Its not possible to connect over WiFi. For the ethernet connection, a Garmin adapter is required:
+  * 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]].
+==== Networking ====
+No special networking settings are necessary. Not on the Garmin; and not on the Victron GX Device.
+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.
+It is possible to connect the Garmin MFD to the Ethernet port of the GX device, and connect to the internet and VRM on the GX device by using [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:start#internet_connectivity| one of the other non-ethernet port internet connectivity options (eg Wifi interface, or GX GSM).]]
