XGI Gateway Inverters Firewall

SOLECTRIA XGI inverters have a robust built-in firewall that is automatically established on the Gateway
Inverter after receiving an IP address assigned via a DHCP or through manual static IP configuration. This act
of establishing a firewall also designates an inverter as a Gateway Inverter. Once this firewall is established
unauthorized inbound or outbound communication is not permitted through the Gateway Inverter.

Networking with Other Devices

Networking with other Ethernet based devices including revenue grade meters, tracking systems, weather
stations, etc. should only be done outside of the inverter Cluster LAN, or outside of the Inverter Gateway
Firewall; see Figure 5-4.
