I tried both port and bought the Victron cable but still not working. Help please!

@Zhao Thomas

The VE Bus smart dongle cannot be used to configure the Multi. It can change some settings and work for basic monitoring.

Here is the manual

Here are some screenshots of what to expect.

To change settings and program the inverter you need the mk3 to usb adaptor.

Sorry for the confusion, that what I mean to monitoring and to see the AC input on output. Mine doesn’t even show that. When I click it it just show me the battery voltage and temperature. Thank you.

Because you have a Cerbo connected or a remote panel, they become the Master of the Ve.Bus and the dongle looses it's privileges, so it only shows very basic / no useful information.
