The wireless and wired (RS485) connections are mutually exclusive, therefore the PVI-DESKTOP
cannot be used in both configurations and the communication channel must always be chosen.
When the use wireless communication is chosen, it is absolutely necessary that every field
inverter has the PVI-Radiomodule installed; it is not possible to use one PVI-Radiomodule and
connect the other inverters to each other via RS485.
