Connecting The Power Reducer Box To The Local Network - SMA POWER REDUCER BOX Technical Description

Getting started
Dynamic Network Settings
You can also integrate the Power Reducer Box into your Ethernet network via DHCP. For this an active
DHCP server must be available in your local network.
1. Log in as "installer" on the start page of the Power Reducer Box (see section 7.1 "Log in to the
Power Reducer Box" (page 25)).
☑ The "Plant overview" page opens.
2. Select "Network and system settings" in the main menu.
3. In the "Acquire IP address" field select the value "dynamic".
4. Select [Save].
☑ The Power Reducer Box acquires its IP address from the local network DHCP server.
Retrieving the IP address dynamically (DHCP)
If the Power Reducer Box has been integrated into your network via DHCP, you must
determine the IP address via the router. We recommend extending the lease of the
assigned IP address. If necessary, please contact your network administrator. Generally a
static network setting should be preferred.
