6 COMM UNICATIONS INTERFACE
6.1 Access remote WEB (http)
To communicate with the system, by the website, some settings have to be done previously. First of all,
the system has to be connected by an Ethernet cable to the router. In the lower part of the system, there
is the communication board: starting for the left side, there are: an Ethernet connector, two R115
connectors, and one USB connector (for ZIGOR exclusive use only).

There is
NO
user installable software. The system is accessed by an internet explorer and it is used the
same user interface for local mode and remote mode.
When the wires are connected, the network has to be configured. There are two options; first, the router
assign an IP to the inverter (DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) or configure it manually.
Second, involves the configuration of the subnet mask, router and primary DNS.
Note:
It is required Internet Explorer 8 or higher or Mozilla Firefox 3 or higher.
Note:
There are some parameters that can be modified by the user; and another parameters, for your
safety, that the manipulation is exclusive for ZIGOR maintenance workers.
6.1.1 Configuration by DHCP
In the default configuration, the inverter is configured without DHCP. To enable, it has to be done from
“settings” menu, “system” and in the 15th point is the option of “enable DHCP”, change the status to
activate (“yes”).
When this process has be done, go to “control” and in the fourth point “net”, select “IP NEW” and accept.
The inverter will reset and it will be configured automatically for connecting by web.
In this case, the inverter will have an IP direction that it has to be known, so the communication could be
possible. It is located in the router (depends on the router) or from the inverter, being more easily this
second choice To get the IP by the inverter’s screen, go to the “status” menu, “system” and annotate the
IP. To do the communication, put the IP direction in the web navigator.
6.1.2 Configuration without DHCP
In the default configuration, the inverter is configured without DHCP and with one IP direction, mask,
router and primary DNS at random. Some admissible directions will have to be inserted manually,
depends on the place will be connected. So the user manual of the router has to be looked up, and in
case of doubts consult to your telephone service provider.
6.1.3 Configuration for external connection
The steps haves been described for the connection of the inverter to one telephone network can only be
used for doing the communication in the same network. To connect from computer that it isn’t connected
to the same router but with Internet connection, one port in the router have to be opened. For more
information you will have to consult to your telephone service provider.
