Connect the TriStar MPPT controller to the network using an Ethernet cable. Wait 5 to 10 min-
utes for the controller to connect to the network. Open a web browser on any PC on the network.
Enter the Live View web address in the address bar of the web browser. The TriStar MPPT main
Live View webpage will load. Links are provided to real-time data, history, and network settings
adjustment pages.
Pages served by the TriStar MPPT are ideal for retrieving quick information about the charge
controller and making adjustments to network settings. However, there is no ability to custom-
ize the layout or data displayed. Also, information from multiple controllers cannot be displayed
on the same webpage. Custom web pages can be created to format and display data exactly as
needed. Custom web pages can be served from a webserver. Further, websites can be created
to display data from multiple controllers. Examples and sample code are available on our web-
site.
