7.1 Con guration of the data communication interfaces
In order to use the Ethernet communications interfaces, you must enter the following
settings in the “Settings” display menu:
Device address
If you connect several inverters into one network, you must assign each device its own
address.
NOTE
■ You can assign addresses between 1 and 249. It is very important to remember to
give a unique address to each individual device in the network!
■ Start the device address numbering with the lowest numbers possible (if possible
with 001).
When connecting to a LAN network, the following settings are required in addition to the
device address:
IP address
If you want to access your inverter from a local area network (LAN), enter an unassigned
IP address from your LAN here.
Netmask
Please enter the pertinent subnet mask for your IP address here.
TCP Port
Enter the desired TCP port for communications with the inverter. Remember that the TCP
port must be greater than 1023 since this range is reserved for prede ned applications
(referred to as “well known services”).
NOTE
