With DHCP
If a DHCP server is present in your network, you can
activate DHCP on the Solar Inverter. In this case the
Solar Inverter obtains the network settings automat-
ically. You can display the assigned IP address via the
LCD display (menu «Settings – Network – Ethernet»)
Without DHCP
If there is no DHCP server in your network, you must
set an unused IP address on the NT Solar Inverter
(see section Solar Inverter network setting settings).
Ask your network administrator for suitable settings
for IP address, net mask and gateway.
After the network configuration is completed you
can start the Sunways Browser by entering the IP
address of the Solar Inverter in the address line of
your web browser.
