Integrating the Inverter into the Network

If the router supports DHCP and DHCP is enabled, the inverter will automatically be integrated into
the network. You will not need to carry out network configuration.
If the router does not support DHCP, automatic network configuration will not be possible and you
will need to use the SMA Connection Assist to integrate the inverter into the network.
Requirements:
☐ The inverter must be in operation.
☐ There must be a router with Internet connection in the local network of the system.
☐ The inverter must be connected to the router.
Procedure:
• Integrate the inverter into the network by means of the SMA Connection Assist. Download the
SMA Connection Assist and install it on the computer (see www.SMA-Solar.com).

Changing Operating Parameters

This section describes the basic procedure for changing operating parameters. Always change
operating parameters as described in this section. Some parameters that have sensitive functions
can only be viewed and changed by qualified persons (for further information on changing
parameters, refer to the manual of the communication product).
The operating parameters of the inverter are set to certain values by default. To optimize inverter
operation, you can change the operating parameters using a communication product.
Requirements:
☐ Depending on the type of communication, a computer with Ethernet interface must be
available.
☐ A communication product corresponding to the type of communication used must be
available.
☐ The inverter must be registered in the communication product.
☐ The changes to the grid-relevant parameters must be approved by the responsible grid
operator.
☐ When changing grid-relevant parameters, the SMA Grid Guard code must be available (see
"Application for SMA Grid Guard Code" at www.SMA-Solar.com).
Procedure:
1. Call up the user interface of the communication product or software and log in as Installer or
User.
2. If required, enter the SMA Grid Guard code.
3. Select and set the required parameter.
4. Save settings.
