Net Piggy-Back "Ethernet" Version - SMA NET Piggy-Back Technical Description

Initial Start-up

5.4 NET Piggy-Back "Ethernet" Version

Subnet address of PC and NET Piggy-Back
The IP address of your PC must be in the same subnet as the IP address of the NET Piggy-
Back (in this case 10.xxx.xxx.xxx).
Example:·IP address: 10.6.1.1·
Subnet: 255.0.0.0
After start-up you should be able to access the Sunny Boy Control at the address 10.170.170.170.
If you want to use a different configuration because, for instance, you are using multiple devices at
the same time or your local network is using a different address range such as Class B or Class C
addresses (see "Example topology for a Class A network" (Page 23)), set the following parameters:
• CO_NET-ETH IP
- IP address of the Sunny Boy Control / Sunny Boy Control Plus
• CO_NET-ETH SNET
- Subnet mask
• CO_NET-ETH GW
- Gateway address
• CO_NET-ETH DNS
- IP address of the domain name server
For information on configuring the device for e-mail transmission, see Section 6.
Checking Default Parameters
To check communication based on the default parameters, proceed as follows:
Open a command prompt window on another PC in the network. Enter "ping 10.170.170.170",
which is the default IP address of the Sunny Boy Control.
You should now see the following information on your screen:
