4 Depending on the inverter connector type (RJ45 or an 8-pin terminal block), Connect as follows:

If the inverter has an 8-pin terminal block connector for Ethernet communication:
 Pull the connector out, as shown below:
Figure 18: The 8-pin Ethernet terminal block
 Loosen the screws, except for that of pin G. Insert the ends of the wires into the pins according
to the following table:

 Tighten the screws of the Ethernet terminal block.
 Check that the wires are fully inserted and cannot be pulled out easily.Push the Ethernet
terminal block firmly all the way into the Ethernet connector on the communication board.

If the inverter has an RJ45 connector for Ethernet communication, use a pre-crimped cable to
connect via gland no.1 to the RJ45 plug on the inverter's communication board, or, if using a cable
drum, connect as follows:
 Insert the cable through gland no.1.
 Remove the cable’s external insulation using a crimping tool or cable cutter and expose eight
wires.
 Insert the eight wires into an RJ45 connector, as described in Figure 17.
 Use a crimping tool to crimp the connector.
