=== 1.- Modbus port connections ===
kiBox 2 has 2 Modbus RTU (RS485) ports: port 1 located on the left and port 2 located on the right.

kiBox 4 has 4 Modbus RTU (RS485) ports: ports arranged consecutively, with port 1 located on the far left and port 4 located on the far right.

kiBox 8 has 8 Modbus RTU (RS485) ports: ports arranged consecutively in two rows: port 1 being located on the far left and port 4 located on the far right in the first row; and port 5 located on the far left and port 8 located on the far right in the second row.

* '''+ (A)''' positive bus connection
* '''- (B)''' negative bus connection
* '''gnd''' shield connection of the screened cable.

It is very important to respect the polarity of the connection and correctly connect the bus shield to avoid electromagnetic noise.


=== 2.- Network-Internet connection ===

To connect to the Internet, kiBox must be connected via an RJ45 cable to the connector located at the bottom left. The kiBox connects to the Internet via a dynamic IP (DHCP).

The voltage range must be between 88 and 264V in alternating current. With a network frequency between 47-63Hz. It is important to correctly connect the ground of the power supply since this will be used to shield the cables connected to the modbus ports.
