In a local network, for example at home, you can also find the Color Control GX in the Windows 'Network' overview (this uses
Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) broadcast technology):
Double-clicking the icon will open up Remote Console on LAN.
Open the 'Properties' window by right-clicking the icon to see the IP address.
7.2. Accessing via VRM
This method requires a working internet connection, both on your phone, tablet or laptop as well as for the Color Control GX. For
a new install, this means that it needs to be connected by Ethernet cable.
Step-by-step instructions:
1. First, connect the Color Control GX to the internet by plugging it into a working Ethernet network which has a DHCP server,
as most networks do, and which is connected to the internet.
The Color Control GX will immediately connect to VRM.
2. Now go to the VRM Portal, https://vrm.victronenergy.com/, and follow the instructions to add the device.
3. Then, once visible on VRM, click on the Remote Console link in the left-hand menu.
The result looks similar to the image above.
