Accessing Data
from ‘Fronius
Datalogger Web’
via the Internet
and ‘Fronius
Solar.web’

To access current and archived data from ‘Fronius Datalogger Web’ using ‘Fronius
Solar.web’:
1.

Open the ‘Solar Electronics’ heading on the Fronius website ‘www.fronius.com’

2.

Start ‘Fronius Solar.web’

For more information about ‘Fronius Solar.web’ see the online help.

For the Network
Administrator

Configure the firewall so that the IP address of the Datalogger can send data to port
49049/UDP from ‘solarweb.fronius.com.’

DSL routers mostly enable you to send data to the Internet and, therefore, do not nor-
mally have to be configured.
