7.7 Setting up TCP/IP Networking
Connection to the Internet and to the SolrenView web-based monitoring service requires a
functioning TCP/IP protocol. This protocol runs over twisted pair Ethernet wiring and requires
certain connections to properly operate. By default the SolrenView gateway should automatically
configure TCP/IP address from a network router by using the DHCP protocol. In certain cases it
may be necessary to override these settings or to manually configure the TCP/IP settings.
NOTE:
The network router must be 10T capable.
NOTE:
Customers using SolrenView AIR do not need to setup TCP/IP as this is done
in the factory prior to shipping the inverter.
Viewing Current TCP/IP settings:
1. Select the
Info
function on the
Main Menu
and the press
ENTER
button.
2. Information on the inverter will be displayed including the IP, gateway, and netmask settings.
Press the
ENTER
button to hold the display on the item of interest.
In the above example, the IP address, gateway and netmask values are being automatically being
set through the DHCP service. The exact values displayed will depend on the configuration of the
network, but typically are in one of three ranges:
10.0.0.0
– 10.255.255.255
192.168.0.0
– 192.168.255.255
172.16.0.0
– 172.31.255.255
3. If the network is working on the Ethernet protocol level, but the SolrenView is unable to obtain
settings through the DHCP service the following will typically be displayed:
