To use the communication interface(s), enter the following parameters in the
“Settings” menu:
Device address
If several inverters are connected to form a network (RS485), each device must
have a different address. Addresses between 1 and 249 can be used. Please note
that each device in the network must have a different address.
Ethernet (on / off)
To use the right-hand communication socket as Ethernet interface, enter “on”.
IP address
To access your inverter from the local network (LAN), enter a free IP address from
your LAN network.
Netmask
Enter the associated subnet mask for your IP address.
TCP Port
Enter the required TCP port for communication with the inverter. Please note that
the TCP port must be greater than 1023, because this range is reserved for pre-
defined applications (Well Known Services).

6 Data communication
Sputnik Engineering offers the MaxComm communication platform for solar sys-
tems with SolarMax inverters. It offers a wide range of options for data recording
and monitoring of your PV system. The following pages provide an overview of cur-
rent products. Detailed information and product news can be found on our website
at www.solarmax.com.
MaxTalk: for occasional communication or service technicians
The MaxTalk PC software is ideal for occasional inverter data queries or device set-
tings. MaxTalk can be downloaded free of charge from our website.
MaxVisio: for smaller PV systems without remote monitoring
MaxVisio is the ideal stand-alone display for smaller PV systems without remote
monitoring. MaxVisio displays and records the data for the whole system and for
the individual devices. MaxVisio is operated via a convenient touchscreen display.
MaxWeb: the gateway to Internet e-based communication
MaxWeb is a data logger, monitoring unit and web server in one. MaxWeb is the
ideal solution for reliable and professional monitoring of your SolarMax PV instal-
lation. You can access your installation directly via an Internet connection in order
to check current measured values or change your device settings. The data logger
records operating parameters, yield values and events and automatically transfers
them to the SolarMax web portal. In the event of a fault, MaxWeb sends alarm
signals via e-mail or SMS.
SolarMax web portal: system data can be recalled at any time
The SolarMax web portal is the ideal complement to the MaxWeb data logger. The
SolarMax web portal offers access to the data of your PV system from any Internet
access point. The SolarMax web portal offers a wide range of graphical and tabular
data analysis options for your PV system.
