Connecting to Envoy-S
There are several ways to connect with the Envoy-S to check status or do configuration tasks:
Connect wirelessly using Installer Toolkit
Connect remotely using Enlighten
Connect using a computer or mobile device with the Envoy-S local interface

The Enphase Installer Toolkit is a mobile app that provides installers with onsite system configuration
capabilities.
Options for establishing a connection between the Installer Toolkit app and the Envoy-S are:
Connect the mobile device to the same LAN as the Envoy-
S using the site’s wireless router.

’s Wireless Router to Connect to the Envoy-S
To use the site’s wireless router, select
Settings
on your mobile device and then select
Wi-Fi
. Tap the
network you want to join from the list of available networks.
Method B: Create a Wireless Access Point
You can connect to Envoy without using the onsite router by creating a wireless Access Point (AP). Use
the Envoy-S built-in Wi-Fi functionality to do this. AP mode supports use of a mobile device and times out
