Chapter 3: Connection and Configuration
This section describes basic connection and configuration of one or more inverters.
You can connect the inverter(s) using just the Wireless Gateway. However, one or two
Repeaters may be required to extend the Wi-Fi range.
You can choose to delay the installation completion, in which case the first
configuration steps are performed by the installer, and the home owner can later
connect the devices to electrical outlet(s) and the Wireless Gateway to a router. Wi-Fi
connection should be established automatically.
NOTE
The Repeater adopts the SSID, password and authentication type of its paired
Wireless Gateway instead of using the values on its label.
NOTE
Inverters within the site may connect to the Repeater or directly to the Wireless
Gateway, depending on their distance from the gateway and on signal
strength.
Before installing the Wireless Gateway, make sure that the inverter is running the
required firmware version.
1. Before arriving at the site, verify that your mobile device is connected to the
internet, and open SetApp. SetApp automatically downloads firmware upgrades.
2. At the site, open SetApp and follow the on-screen instructions. SetApp creates a Wi-
Fi connection with the inverter and upgrades the inverter firmware.
To connect a Wireless Gateway and Repeater(s):
The following steps describe pairing a Wireless Gateway (and a Repeater if required),
with the inverter and connecting the inverter to the monitoring platform via Wi-Fi. It is
recommended to perform the pairing when the devices are close to each other.
NOTE
For multiple inverters connected on an RS485-bus, configure
the RS485-bus as described in the
application note.
