Port Forwarding, DAS Configuration
The External Access IP and respective Port settings must be configured on the third-party monitoring platform
or DAS. This will allow the DAS to query the desired inverter properly.
Static Routing
To implement Static Routing the XGI Gateway Inverter(s) will need to be configured and a static routing rule
will need to be added to the LAN.
Once implemented, inverters can easily be addressed as an Endpoint Device by a DAS or other external
device using the Inverter Cluster IP address and port 502, for example: 10.78.125.31:502. Inverter Cluster IPs
can be configured; see Section 5.11.
5.10.1
Static Routing, Configuring the Gateway Inverter
To configure Static Routing first
Enable External Modbus Access
by selecting the check box using the GUI
of the desired Gateway Inverter.
By default the Gateway Inverter will detect and recommend an IP/Subnet from which external devices are
allowed through the Inverter Gateway Firewall. For security purposes the user is encouraged to enter the most
restrictive value, with preference given to the specific IP address of the external device (DAS). Up to two
IP/Subnet pairs can be entered on each gateway.
