That's the non Bluetooth version. The Bluetooth versions have the Bluetooth logo after the MPPPT 100 / 50

Connect the VE.Direct cable up to your Cerbo.
Then run VictronConnect on your Phone and instead of selecting "Local" you choose "VRM" (red box) and you will see a list (likely just 1 though) of VRM instances/setups you have access to

Tap on yours (I am choosing "* Monty" below)

You then get a picture of your Victron Main unit, such as a Cerbo GX in my case here

Tap on "Devices" (shown in Red Box above) and you see all your devices that are connected to the Victron Unit via cable. It doen't matter if they have Bluetooth or not, they are still listed if physically connected. The ones with the Red * below are not Bluetooth enabled but still are seen by VictronConnect

Just tap on the device you want to setup and you will go to it. Here I am using VictronConnect to access a non-Bluetooth BMV-700

Make a note of all the Serial Numbers , plus the PUK numbers on the Bluetooth units. always handy to have.
I wouldn't bother trying to configure the BlueSolar via the switch. Just wait until on VRM, much easier :)
