Pressing the Setting button will bring up the settings dialog, as shown in Figures 9-11.
The device's IP address may be manually set in the Ethernet settings tab (Fig. 3.9). The subnet
mask and Ethernet Gateway (Gate) may also automatically obtain an Ethernet address via DHCP
(requires a system restart). If the IP address must be changed, click in the address box and click
again to call up a small input panel allowing the address to be modified.
The Date & Time settings tab (Fig. 3.8) is used to set the date, time, and time zone. The device
currently supports only the six time zones covering the United States.

The communications address settings tab (Fig. 3.10) is used to set the powerline carrier
communications address of the micro-inverter linked to the device. Settings can be input using
either the small input panel on the touch-screen or an external USB keyboard. You can find a bar
code sticker at the bottom of the micro inverter, below the bar code there is an alphanumeric
string, in which eight shows micro inverter’s ID, for example: 21211-0000B123A, the part of
0000B123 is the ID of micro inverter which consists of a 32-bit decimal number represented as a
hex number , but you just need to input B123 into the Module ID.The device can support a
maximum of 255 micro-inverters, but Module0 is the device's communications address and may
not be changed. Click in the address box, and click again to bring up a small input panel allowing
the address to be modified.
When finished inputting settings, press OK (confirm) to bring up a restart prompt. Restart is not
required after setting the time, but Ethernet and micro-inverter ID settings will only be applied
after a restart. When you press the OK (confirm) button, the device will automatically restart. If
you press Cancel, the device will still save the changed settings, but will only apply those changes
after the next restart.
