Connect the inverter and the PC to the router/switch with a regular Ethernet cable.
6.3.2.1. With DHCP – Dynamic IP Address
Inverter
1. Go to Setup>Network Setup.
2. Set the IP address to 000.000.000.000. With this setting the router assigns a dynamic
(DHCP) IP address automatically to the inverter.
3. Press OK. GUI will restart to configure the new network settings.
6.3.2.2. Without DHCP – Static IP Address
Inverter
1. Go to Setup>Network Setup.
2. Set the IP address to a desired, unique address for the inverter (Static). The inverter’s IP
address must be an unused IP address in the network and in the same range as the
computer’s IP address.
3. Press OK. GUI will restart to configure the new network settings.
6.3.3. Access from the Internet
In order to make the inverter(s) accessible from the internet, further parameters must be
set within the network settings.
1. The inverter must be assigned a static IP address in the local network. Refer to the
previous section.
2. Port Forwarding must be set up within the local network router. Port number 80 of the
router is for Web traffic (HTTP), and must be forwarded to the inverter’s static IP address.
The external IP address of the router can be found at http://www.whatismyip.com or
similar web services, or by asking the relevant Internet Service Provider (ISP).
NOTICE
If the external network is assigned a dynamic IP address from the ISP, this IP
address is unlikely to remain constant over a long time period. It is possible for the
inverter owner to set up an account with a company that provides dynamic DNS
services for commercial and private users, which allows the user to have a
hostname (such as: yourname.serviceprovider.org) that points to a computer with
an IP address that regularly changes.
In order to have the dynamic DNS service operating correctly, the owner’s router
must be capable of reporting its IP address to the dynamic DNS service provider.
This will most likely be present in the router settings section which asks for the
details of the user account with the dynamic DNS service provider.
If the owner’s router does not report its IP address to the dynamic DNS service and
has a dynamic external IP address, then periodically a manual update of the
dynamic DNS settings will be required.
