 ==== 5. GX device Configuration ====

 In case a setting does need changing, such as setting a different baud rate or configuring a VE.Can port to be used for BMS-Can instead, use the menu path //Settings -> Services -> CAN-profile//.
-Note that it is not possible with the CCGX to connect both VE.Can products (i.e VE.Can MPPTs) and a Bluenova battery together. If this is required, use a Cerbo GX which has two separate sets of ports.
