Static IP Configuration, Gateway Inverter
Gateway inverters can be manually configured using a static IP. It is important to identify which Ethernet Port is
configured with the static IP and ensure this is connected to the LAN. Once a static IP is configured the port will no
longer function as a Cluster connection.
Login to the desired gateway inverter and navigate to Inverter Configuration

Port Forwarding
Port forwarding is easily configured with most third-party monitoring providers. Make sure to consult with your
monitoring provider before implementing. When Port Forwarding is implemented, a third-party DAS can address each
inverter using the Gateway Inverter External IP and the specified port for the inverter with the cluster. The Gateway
Inverter External IP is assigned to the Gateway Inverter via the DHCP or configured manually using a static IP.
Port Forwarding, Reserved DHCP IP Address
Before configuring Port Forwarding on the Gateway inverters(s) it is important to work with your network administrator
to ensure that the gateway IP address(es) are fixed. If using DHCP consider using a reserved lease. If the IP address of the
gateway inverter changes communication to the cluster is fail.
The IP address assigned to the Gateway Inverters(s) must be in a different subnet than internal Cluster IPs within the
Cluster LAN.
Port Forwarding, Configuring the Gateway Inverter
To configure Port Forwarding, 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,
