Establishing a direct connection via WLAN

Requirements:
☐ The inverter must be commissioned.
☐ A computer, tablet PC or smartphone with WLAN interface must be available.
☐ In the case of a computer connection, one of the following web browsers must be installed: Firefox (as of version
25), Internet Explorer (as of version 10), Safari (as of version 7), Opera (as of version 17) or Google Chrome (as

☐ In the case of a tablet PC or smartphone connection, one of the following web browsers must be installed: Firefox
(as of version 25), Safari (as of version iOS 7) or Google Chrome (as of version 29).
☐ The personal SMA Grid Guard code of the Installer must be available for the changing of grid-relevant settings
after completion of the first ten operating hours (see "Application for SMA Grid Guard Code" at www.SMA-
Solar.com).
Inverter SSID and IP address and necessary passwords
• Inverter SSID in WLAN: SMA[serial number] (e.g. SMA2130019815)
• Standard WLAN password (usable for initial configuration to completion of the first ten operating hours):
SMA 12345
• Device-specific WLAN password (usable for initial configuration to completion of the first ten operating
hours): see WPA2-PSK on the type label of the inverter or on the back of the manual included in the delivery
• Standard IP inverter address for a direct connection via WLAN outside of a local network: 192.168.12.3
Importing and exporting files with end devices having an iOS operating system is not possible.
For technical reasons, importing and exporting files (e.g. importing an inverter configuration, saving the current
inverter configuration or exporting events) is not possible with mobile end devices having an iOS operating
system.
• Use an end device that does not have an iOS operating system for importing and exporting files.
The procedure can be different depending on the terminal devices used (e.g. computer, tablet PC or smartphone). If
the procedure described does not apply to your device, establish the direct connection via WLAN as described in the
manual of your device.
Procedure:
1. If your computer, tablet PC or smartphone has a WPS function:
• Activate the WPS function on the inverter. To do this, tap on the enclosure lid of the inverter twice.
☑ A signal sounds for one second followed by a one second break. After this break the signal sounds
again for one second.
• Activate the WPS on your device.
☑ The connection with your device will be established automatically. It can take up to 20 seconds for this
connection to be established.
2. If your computer, tablet PC or smartphone does not have a WPS function:
• Search for WLAN networks with your device.
• Select the SSID of the inverter SMA[serial number] in the list with the found WLAN networks.
