   • 1 RJ45 port reserved for the technical service department.
   • 2 RJ45 (Daisy-Chain CAN) ports
   ҄ They’re used to interconnect the Volthium modules to the CAN network.
   For example; the CommunicationHub module, that would be used to read the DATA of a multiple battery bank (up to 4 batterie in a battery bank)

2. CommunicationHUB :
   Has a total of 6 RJ45 female :
   • 4 RJ45 female ports on a side :
   ҄ To read batteries’information only.
   • 2 RJ45 (Daisy-Chain CAN) ports
   ҄ They’re used to interconnect the Volthium modules to the CAN network.
   ҄ For example; lthe bluetooth dongle.
   ҄ They’re also used to connect an external device to the CAN bus, such as a compatible Victron VE.CAN.
