Network services 

NetMan 204 Solar

 implements a series of services based on the main network protocols. 

 
 

SSH 

Ssh is supported, but 

it’s reserved for service operations only. 

 
 

RFB protocol 

NetMan 204 Solar supports RFB protocol (version 3.8). This means that the user can connect with 
an application like 

VNC

1

, adding a virtual display to your inverter. The default password, asked when 

you try to connect, is “secret”. 

 
 

UDP 

UDP  (User  Datagram  Protocol)  is  a  low  level  network  protocol  that  guarantees  speed  in  the 
exchange  of  data  and  low  network  congestion.  It  is  the  protocol  used  by 

Sunvision  2

  and 

SirioDataControl

 software, for fast data read and configuration. 

The UDP connection uses the UDP 33000 port by default but can be configured on other port values 
according to requirements. 

 

 

Modbus/TCP 

The  inverter  status  can  be  monitored  by  means  of  the  standard  network  protocol  MODBUS/TCP. 
Modbus/TCP is simply the Modbus RTU protocol with a TCP interface that runs on Ethernet. 

 
 

FTP 

FTP  (File  Transfer  Protocol)  is  a  network  protocol  used  for  file  exchange. 

NetMan  204  Solar

  uses 

this protocol for: 
 

1.  download of files of the inverter values and events history log archive. 
2.  firmware upgrade (using 

SirioDataControl

 software) 

 
The FTP configuration is: 
 

  Host: hostname or 

NetMan 204 Solar 

IP address; 

  Port: default port is 21; this can be changed, if needed 

  User: ftpuser 

  Password: 

arosftp

 

 
 

SMTP 

SMTP  (Simple  Mail  Transfer  Protocol)  is  the  protocol  used  to  send  e-mails.  They  are  sent  to  an 
SMTP server on port 25 (port 25 is the default port, but it can be changed). 

NetMan 204 Solar

 can send a notification e-mail if one or more alarm or status conditions occur. The 

e-mails  can  be  sent  to  up  to  three  recipients  and  they  can  be  sent  for  five  different  alarm  kinds. 

NetMan 204 Solar

 can send periodic e-mails with an attachment containing the files of the  inverter 

values and events history log archives. 
This service can be used to periodically save the history log archives. 
The e-mail service must be enabled and correctly configured in order to send reports; the reports are 
sent to all the addresses configured for this service (for more details see paragraph 

Configuration

).
