8.1.3

Establishing a Connection via Ethernet in the local network

New IP address for connecting with a local network
If the inverter is connected to a local network via a network cable (e.g. via a router), the inverter will receive a
new IP address. Depending on the type of configuration, the new IP address will be assigned automatically by the
DHCP server (router) or manually by you. Upon completion of the configuration, the inverter is only reachable via
this new IP address or the alternative addresses.
Access addresses of the inverter:
• Generally applicable access address, e.g. for android products: IP address manually assigned or assigned
by the DHCP server (router) (identification via SMA Connection Assist, network scanner software or router
manual).
• Alternative access address for Apple products: SMA[serial number].local (e.g. SMA2130019815.local)
• Alternative access address for certain Windows products: SMA[serial number] (e.g. SMA2130019815)
Requirements:
☐ The inverter must be connected to the local network via a network cable (e.g. via a router).
☐ The inverter must be integrated in the local network.
☐ A computer, tablet PC or smartphone must be available and the computer, tablet PC or smartphone must be
connected with the network to which the inverter is also connected.
☐ 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 feed-in hours (see certificate "Application for SMA Grid Guard Code" at
www.SMA-Solar.com).
Procedure:
1. Open the web browser of your device, enter the IP address of the inverter in the address line of the web browser
and press the enter key.
2. Web browser signals a security vulnerability
After the IP address has been confirmed by pressing the enter key, a message might appear indicating that
the connection to the user interface of the inverter is not secure. SMA Solar Technology AG guarantees that
calling up the user interface is secure.
