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
Network Configuration
Advanced Network Configuration
Ethernet Configuration.
Enter the desired
Static IP, Gateway IP,
Netmask,
and
Interface.

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.
5.9.1
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.
5.9.2
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.
