The GT100 has the ability to provide remote communications via optional
modems for system monitoring or data logging through a personal computer using
the Xantrex GT View Graphic User Interface (GUI) software. The GUI software
provides a windows-based interface program that accesses, monitors, and controls
the features and functions of the unit. The GUI also provides additional data
logging and tracking features which are not available through the UFCU. If
multiple inverters are networked together, the software is capable of tracking up to
50 inverters on the same network.
The PC can be connected to the unit remotely. Before installing the GUI software,
it will be necessary to determine and establish the proper communication from a
service provider.
A personal computer can be connected by remote connection - through the
optional modem communication kit to be installed in the AC Interface.

A user selectable RS485/Modbus connection is also available for remote plant
monitoring. The CCU2 Controller board within the GT100 may be configured for
RS485 serial communication using the Modbus protocol.
