inverter. The network settings include the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS server address.
The communication interface of the inverter has three LAN interfaces to the connected nodes. The IP address to be
configured in your computer depends on whether the computer is connected to the service interface of the inverter, the
control network or the monitoring network.
