Setting the NetID

If the inverter is equipped with BLUETOOTH, you can set the NetID of the inverter. By default, the
NetID is set to 1 for all SMA inverters and SMA communication products with BLUETOOTH. If your
PV system consists of an inverter and a maximum of one further BLUETOOTH device (e.g. computer
with BLUETOOTH interface or SMA communication product), you can leave the NetID set to 1.
You must change the NetID in the following cases:
• If your PV system consists of one inverter and two other BLUETOOTH devices (e.g. computer
with BLUETOOTH interface and SMA communication product) or of multiple inverters with
BLUETOOTH, you must change the NetID of your PV system. This enables you to communicate
using multiple BLUETOOTH devices.
• If another PV system with BLUETOOTH is located within 500 m of your PV system, you must
change the NetID of your PV system. This will help keep both PV systems separate.
• If you do not wish to communicate via BLUETOOTH, deactivate the BLUETOOTH
communication on your inverter. This will protect your PV system from unauthorized access.
