STEP 3 - Configuring the Inverter:
1. Log on to the Enasolar web site and download the Inverter configuration software from the Partner section. See
separate document for details.
2. Connect the USB cable from your PC to the Inverter.
3.
Uncheck “DHCP Enable” and “Disable Remote Monitoring”. Set the “Default IP Address” of the Inverter to your
chosen IP address and save your settings.
The “Subnet Mask” is 255.255.255.0. The “Gateway” and “DNS
Server
” don’t matter for SPLASH Monitoring but enter the Gateway and DNS addresses from the “ipconfig”
command as described above. Again SPLASH Monitoring makes no use of the
“Hostname” or “Inverter Name”,
but you should choose something appropriate for these fields.
4. If it is a wireless inverter, you will need to set up the
“SSID”, “Security Mode” and “WPA Passphrase”. You’ll need
to get this information from the wireless
router or the router’s owner.
5.
Power off the AC to the inverter and back on again. This may not be necessary, but in practice we’ve found that
this is sometimes needed to re-
initialise the inverter’s settings.
6.
If you chose an IP address on your router’s network you can check access to the Inverter by entering its IP
address into your web browser.
You should see the inverter’s home page.
7. Connect the STREAMbox to the network and power it up.
8. This step is not strictly necessary as the next step is your definitive check that all is well. However, after about 2
minutes you can check web access to the STREAMbox by entering http://splash/ into the web browser on a PC
which is connected to the same network.
If this doesn’t work you can use the STREAMbox’s IP address.** You
should be presented with the STREAMbox’s Web Information Page. To change any of the settings (not
recommended unless you know exactly what you’re doing) you will need to log on using the first 5 characters of
your fingerprint as the password. Use of the Web Information Page is described in detail here:
www.splashmonitoring.com/assets/SM-STREAMbox-Web-Information-Page.html
9. After about 8 minutes log onto the Splash Monitoring web site and claim your fingerprint (see
the “Getting Started”
document). Then scan your fingerprint on the Dashboard and if the installation was successful you will see data
from the inverter appear below the scan button.
10. If you have data on the Dashboard then you can go on to configure your site according to the instructions provided
in the “Getting Started” document, or on the web site.
11. For further help or trouble shooting assistance please go to
12. Newer Enasolar inverters are Splash ready, but older ones may need to have a configuration file loaded:
Down
load the “SWES-2KWBEN-08.bin” file onto your PC then load it onto the Inverter by entering the following url
into your web browser:
http://<inverter IP address>/mpfsupload
. Browse to the location of the above file on your
PC and then click upload. Wait for the upload to complete.
** You can ascertain the IP address of the STREAMbox by plugging a monitor into the VGA socket on the back of the STREAMbox,
then switch off and back on to re-boot. At the end of the boot sequence the STR
EAMbox’s IP address will be displayed on the
monitor. Enter this IP address into your web browser to get the STREAMbox web page. Alternatively you can try to guess the
STREAMbox’s IP address by trying to browse to addresses either side of your PC’s address as described in the “ipconfig” command
in step 2 above.
