8.8 Activate WPS Function
The WPS function can be used for different purposes:
• Automatic connection to a network (e.g. via router)
• Direct connection between the product and an end device
Depending on the intended application of the WPS function, the procedure for activation will vary.

Activating the WPS function for direct connection to the end device.
• Activate the WPS function on the inverter. To do this, tap twice in succession on the enclosure
lid of the DC-Connection Unit next to the LEDs.
☑ The blue LED flashes quickly for approx. two minutes. The WPS function is active during
this time.
8.9 Switching WLAN On and Off
The inverter is equipped with an activated WLAN interface as standard. If you do not want to use
WLAN, you can switch the WLAN function off and switch it on again whenever needed. In doing
so, you can switch the WLAN direct connection and the WLAN connection in the local network on
independently of each other.
Switching on the WLAN function only possible via Ethernet connection
If you switch off both the WLAN function for the direct connection and for the connection in
the local network, access to the inverter user interface and therefore reactivation of the WLAN
interface is only possible via an Ethernet connection.
The basic procedure for changing operating parameters is explained in another section (see
Section8.12 "Changing Operating Parameters", page69).
