ABB PVS-60-TL-US Product Manual page 101

The AP is still available and the
user can connect to the inverter.
In this scenario the Router gives
IPs according to its own rules.
Inverter is reachable by IP.
Domain name can be used only if
the Router permits multicast
The IP address assigned to the inverter may vary or may be unknown. Please contact the IT
administrator for getting the assigned IP address.
Differently from the assigned IP address, the «Host Name» of the inverter is unchangeable
over time.
In order to use the «Host Name» as an alternative to the assigned IP address, for accessing
to the inverters web server from the router the Domain Name System (DNS) service is nee-
ded to be available and activated.
The Host Name associated to each ABB inverters is structured as indicated below:
ABB-logger ID.LOCAL where:
logger ID stands for the MAC address indicated on the "Communication identification lable"
applied on the inverter.
STEP 2 (Optional) - Wireless network connection.
As described on chapter 2 the recommended way to get all the installed
inverters to communicate to the internet and Aurora Vision Cloud is
creating a cabled Ethernet daisy chain bus. Anyway, in case of a few
inverters installation in suitable environment, it is also possible to connect
each inverter of the plant to a Wi-Fi router without using any cable.

During the installation wizard of the single inverter, the installer will be
asked to connect the inverter to a Wi-Fi router. By selecting connection
to Wi-Fi router the inverter will turn on a second Wi-Fi radio channel in
order to enable connection to the Wi-Fi router. By selecting "Skip this
step" button the other radio channel will be kept off.
Two Wi-Fi radio channels enables simultaneous wireless connection;
one static IP address connection between inverter and installer devices
and one between inverter and switch/router.
Whatever means is used to connect the inverter to the router (Ethernet
cable or Wi-Fi) it will be always possible to access to the embedded
web server also by connecting its own device to the same switch/
router, and reaching the inverter (via second radio channel in case of
Wi-Fi connection with the router) by using the assigned IP address or
inverter's host name
