13.5.4. GX device configuration
1. On the Victron GX device, go to Settings → Services, and there enable both MQTT on LAN (SSL) and MQTT
on LAN (Plaintext).
2. Next, go to Menu → Settings → System Setup → Battery Measurements, and there set up what batteries you want to see on
the MFD; and by what name.
3. For boats, RVs 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 Menu structure and configurable parameters [37] chapter.
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 GX device are by default configured to use DHCP. After plugging in the cable, the
Victron Energy icon will show up after 10 to 30 seconds.
To connect the GX device to the internet and the VRM Portal while its Ethernet port is already in use to connect to the Garmin,
use WiFi. For more information about it, see the Internet connectivity [29] chapter.
Connecting a Garmin MFD to a network router over Ethernet leads to IP address conflicts, due to the
integrated DHCP server.
It is not possible to use a GX GSM or a GX LTE 4G due to the integrated DHCP server of the Garmin MFD.
