** The Live View web address is unique to each controller. If the TS-MPPT-600V-TR serial number is 09501234, then the Live 
View address is: http://tsmppt09501234. The Live View address is printed on the serial label on the side of the unit for reference.

The controller’s MAC Address is located on the serial label on the side of the controller.
Two (2) LEDs on the Ethernet jack indicate link and activity status.
