Types of Gateway Networks
The Gateway can interface with different devices with wired or wireless
connections to provide several options for monitoring your power system
performance.
Local Area Network
The Gateway provides performance data for display on a home computer.
Data is displayed using the Solar Monitor Widget, available free from
Xantrex.
Connections between the Gateway, router and computer can be wired or
wireless, but not both at the same time. An Ethernet connection between
the Gateway and router or computer is required for initial installation and
configuration, after which the Gateway can be set to wireless mode and
the cable removed.
