Accessing Inverter via LAN (Local Area Network)

Inverter
The illustration above is a typical LAN connection. The inverter and devices are
connected to a router by Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi. Computers and other devices in
the LAN can access inverter's data if its IP address is known.
The router, acting as a DHCP server, usually assigns an IP to the inverter
automatically. You can also manually assign an IP to the inverter with the router as
well. Press to check IP address.

The illustration above demonstrates how to access the inverter via Internet. Similar
to LAN, the inverter can be accessed by web browser. However, there is usually a
firewall that would block direct access of the LAN from the Internet. In order to
overcome this, you will need to set up NAT (Network Address Translation) or Port
Forwarding of the router. For detailed information, please refer to the manual
provided by your router supplier.
