6.4 Network settings on Solar Inverter
· The Solar Inverter is supplied with the following,
preset IP address:
192.168.30.50
· In the default setting the Solar Inverter does
not support a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configura-
tion Protocol). Therefore, the IP address is not
assigned automatically. It is possible to activate
the DHCP protocol via the Settings menu.
· IP addresses may only be assigned once within
the network.
If required you can assign your own IP address for
the Solar Inverter via the Settings menu.

The password always has 8 characters. If the pass-
word you choose is fewer than 8 characters in
length, the remainder, up to the full 8 characters, is
filled with “*” symbols.

password becomes “Solar***”.
