So, took the plunge and ordered the [Waveshare RS485 to PoE Ethernet Module](https://www.tinytronics.nl/en/communication-and-signals/serial/rs-485/waveshare-industrial-serial-server-rs485-to-poe-ethernet-module) and had some time today to hook it up and configure it.

I connected both my Growatt 3000TL3-S inverters to the module and after some fiddling on the Inverters (Giving each a unique ID) and in the module’s settings I got it working!

Here the settings that work for me:

I made the following changes that differ with de module’s default settings:

**Network Settings**

- **Device Port** , set it to _502_
- **IP Mode** , switched it to _DHCP_ (Obviously made a reservation in my router)

**Multi-Host Settings**

- **Protocol** , switched it to _Modbus TCP to RTU_
- **Enable Multi-host** , switched to _Yes_
- **Instruction Time out** , was automatically set to _256_ after saving the **Protocol** and **Enable Multi-host** settings.

It seems not all information from my inverters is handled correctly, I’ll monitor that and make a separate post for that.
