The GUI provides the operator a "hands off" means to observe and modify the inverter settings and access all inverters
within a Cluster from a single point of connection.
Typically when onsite, the preferred means of connection is using a smart phone, tablet, or PC connected over WiFi for
ease of use. Specific operations require, or may be better suited for, an Ethernet connection. Table 6-1 lists common
activities and the preferred/required connection type.

Connecting to the Inverter, Ethernet
To access the inverter using Ethernet, connect an Ethernet cable from the laptop to the inverter. The Ethernet port is
located inside the wiring box (see Figure 3-14). Wait 15 seconds for the laptop to obtain an IP address from the XGI
Inverter, DHCP must be enabled on the PC connected to the inverter. Once the laptop recognizes the Ethernet connection,
open your preferred web browser (example Firefox or Chrome) and type "xgi.solar" in the address bar, then click Enter to
navigate to the website. The laptop should establish a connection with the inverter and display the GUI.
